I ended up dong a zero in Bennington. The managers at the Catamount Motel are very hiker friendly and offered to drive me to wherever I needed to go, its a great place to stay. I took full advantage of this by staying another day to in part let the trail dry out from the the previous rain and also to make a trip to Walmart and the local Price Chopper. I got a late start out of Bennington, it was about 4pm when I took a break at Kid Gore Shelter. Just after my lunch I cam across my first fire tower since NJ. The view was pretty good despite the overcast conditions.

I was planning on going another five miles or so, but I got talking to another north bounder named B-line and decided that I would not push things and called it a day. I am planning on doing a short day into Manchester Center so tomorrow will just have to be a little longer. The temperatures have come down markedly and I can push up a mountain without being totally soaked at the top. The cooler temperatures definitely have me in a better mood.
