Day 118: Vermont!

Day: 118 Miles: 14.1 Trip: 1603.4 Started: Williamstown, MA Destination: Congdon Shelter, VT

Hello Vermont!   My mood has definitely improved today as I pass into Vermont.  Its a good feeling knowing that I only have three states to go.  The trail enters Vermont at the southern end of the Long Trail.  The Long Trail and the AT coincide for the first 100 or so miles.   The big problem is the mud.  (pictures to follow) Vermont is known by some as Vermud and even before I crossed the border the mud was getting bad.  It rained quite heavy last night and this morning the mud and wet trail were getting worse.  Even so, crossing into Vermont is a great spirit lifter.
