Kevin's AT Thru Hike

Day 123, Sunday, 7/17 – I started my day hiking with Genie and Splitzy. We climbed the 2 miles up to Bromley Mountain, which actually ended up being a ski hill. We ran into Birthday’s friends, Chloe and Flask. They were enjoying the views from the top of the lift. We joined them for a…

Day 122, Saturday, 7/16 – I started my hike this morning at 7:30am. I really only had one tough climb for the day, and I hit it first thing in the morning. I climbed up Stratton Mountain, then went to the top of the fire tower. Again there was a great 360 degree view from…

Day 121, Friday, 7/15 – I woke up and wasn’t all that hungry, so I ate a protein bar and started hiking around 7:30am. The weather has been perfect lately. I haven’t been sweating nearly as bad as I was in New York. Vermont has been beautiful too, there are a lot of pine trees…

Day 120, Thursday, 7/14 – I hiked out with Aqua this morning. We slept in a bit considering how late we got in the night before. We hiked out around 8:30am. The highlight of the hike was the hike past a beaver pond. We got to see a beaver swimming around, which I hadn’t seen…

Day 119, Wednesday, 7/13 – I woke up and went to the kitchen. Mark had already started cooking up scrambled eggs and blueberry pancakes. Genie, Splitzy, and I ate breakfast and got ready to hike out. We were ready to get on trail around 8:30am, when Mark realized that he had a flat tire. He…

Day 118, Tuesday, 7/12 – Genie, Splitzy, Aqua and I were one of the last ones out of camp this morning, but we were still hiking before 7:00am. We hiked a little over 2 miles and entered Dalton. The trail went right through town, so we stopped at a breakfast joint where I got a…

Day 117, Monday, 7/11 – The Upper Goose Pond Cabin had a caretaker, Sue, who prepared breakfast for all the hikers. I woke up and had a pancake and a cup of hot coffee. I could have eaten more, but the food goes quick when there’s a couple dozen hikers around. I hiked out with…

Day 116, Sunday, 7/10 – I packed up and hiked out with Aqua at 7:30am. I was happy to have the company. It was good hiking today, and we were moving fast. The weather was nice and the trail was covered with pine needles, which made it easy on the feet. We were at a…

Day 115, Saturday, 7/9 – I slept so well that I thought it was going to be 8:00am when I looked at my phone. Fortunately it was only 6:00am. I ate breakfast, packed up, and was hiking by 7:00am. I started my day in a mood. I was in my head with regrets, guilts, and…

Day 114, Friday, 7/8 – I started my day with PB&J waffles and a couple cups of hot coffee. Then, I took a hot shower and finished packing up my items. Connor and Angie drove me to Falls Village, and dropped me back off at the trail around noon. I met Circles as I was…
