We will be saying goodbye to Goldfish (Joey), Pey-Pey LePew (Peyton), Green Flash (Mende) and Caddyshack Karl (Karl) tomorrow.
Goldfish walked, climbed, scrambled and crawled 201.7 miles! An awesome feat for someone with so little experience. Pey-Pey, Green and Caddyshack put in a nice four plus days at 45.1 miles. Also, given conditions, very good. We're now set up at the last shelter before the main highway that Karl used to hitch back to his car over at the Inn at Longtrail. Probably 20 miles. He's also bringing beer back. Goldfish and Sunshine are also down there. I heard from a NOBO that Karl did get a ride.
In the morning, we all go to highway 103-only Hummingbird and Cucumber continue on. The next big mountain is Stratton at 3,936. The side trail up Killington gave us our last 4,000 ft summit we’ll see until we hit the 1,361 mile mark in Virginia (The Priest). By the way, we just celebrated the 500 mile marker yesterday (8/16).
Our average daily mileage: 8.15 miles per day. ETA at this pace: 3/11/17 (time to turn on the gas!).
