Days 36 – 38: Vermud? More like Verpud!

Day 36 – 10 before 10

23 miles

On the 36th we walk 23 miles. This was our biggest day so far and Vermont’s land was many ups and downs that never seemed to end.

The alarm was set for 4 in the morning, and we were out of the camp at 5. We managed to make our first 10 before 10, ten miles before ten am, that’s! As soon as we completed this, we had early lunch because our breakfast was less than substantial.

It was hot and sandwich, and we hadn’t met many bodies of water to cool off. Eventually, a great storm fell and dragged us over us, helping with heat and sweat.

We obtained our first opinions from Mount Killington. We were scheduled to climb it early after our zero day. With luck, we get good views!

Finally, we left the forest and made a small road road to the nearest bus stop. This would take us to Rutland, so that we can take the next day outside the road. Nick entered the bicycle store and bought us with victory crafts to enjoy while we waited for the bus.

Public transport came just in time, and it was free! We also go to a free shelter named Humer’s Hostel in Rutland. It turns out that it is directed by the people who have the yellow deli. We have been anticipating this meeting with errors from the beginning of our trip, and finally it was here! We have not had much family faces, so spending a couple of days with an old friend is a very necessary break.

Day 37 – Rutland R & R

Zero miles

On the 37th day it was our second day zero. We woke up around 7 and have breakfast with the people who helped in the shelter. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, rice and cheese. We went to a coffee on the street to have a stronger coffee and cakes to fill our hungry hungry, and we sat there for at least an hour.

Nick and I needed to make a small refueling, so we all went to Walmart and then to a grocery store. We have a bit of sushi from the grocery store for lunch and cannoli for dessert. Back to the shelter for a nap and to reach the family. Dinner was in a Mexican restaurant.

After dinner we were looking to kill some time, so we found a local bar that organized a music bingo night. Nick won the first Bingo and Katie and I won the fourth and fifth.

Our typical early hours returned us to our bedrooms before dusk. Tomorrow we all resume walking at night, so a good dream with clear minds is imperative.

Day 38 – Bye Bye Bugs and Cloucy Killington

18 miles

We had another breakfast of rice and egg before our shipment. The accommodations in the shelter were very pleasant, but the assistants had time to chat for hours, and we did not. It seemed that they were trying to recruit new members, but this trio of hikers was ready to return to the road.

We gave preliminary goodbye to insects on the bus, knowing that we would see it again shortly. Our paths were just three miles away, so we would find ourselves again in an hour.

Indeed, we find our friend again in the forest! We chat for another twenty minutes before hugs and good wishes, and of course, after five!

It was a fairly cloudy day, so our summit of Mount Killington did not offer points of view, but I am sure that otherwise they are very pleasant.

After Killington, our descent was soft and we were finally sailing again. We arrive at the 500 -mile Katahdin score, we are almost 1/4 on the road made with the path.

We obtained some Intel that there was a farm just outside the path that had ice cream and other snacks. Of course, we had to leave!

Nick and I enjoyed the ice cream, artisanal soft drinks and the micro Greens of spicy radish while we talked with some nobles called sticks and stones and heartbeat.

Our camp for the night was only 1/2 mile of the farm post, so we were not worried about getting there soon.
