Vermont is beautiful! I've been hikinging with a group of 5 for the past 5 days. Myself,the wandering jew,birch,wiskey slim,and dutch. We all wear merrells,so the merrell crew, is the name we've been dubbed. We pushed out of Bennington, Vt on the 18th after a stay at the Vortex and a normal town visit. The town had public bikes to get around on so a few of us took several rides, really laid back town. Tons of cool shops. Once out of town we Cowboy camped up on porcupine lookout. Sunrise was amazing. Its really getting a lot cooler at night. I'm eating a lot more, and its time for more clothing. Last night we stayed at Story Spring shelter. It was an 18 mile day into the shelter, passing by an amazing fire tower with 360 views. We're in moose country now, tracks and scat everywhere. Myself, birch, and wiskey sat by a beaver pond for around 3 hours after dusk to try and see one but to no avail. Its been a cold rainy day and 12 miles was all I've been able to do. I'm at the Straton Pond pay shelter and I've been in my sleeping bag since 2. Tomorrow its into manchester center to hopefully pick up a mail drop and hit a grocery store if I can scout some cash. I've got 2 dinners, 2 breakfasts and no snacks left. Time to reconsider calorie intake. More snacks less larger meals. We might take a shot at a Vermonster tomorrow at ben and jerry's, and I could use some stuff from EMS, hope there's a subway. Cell cignal is growing harder and harder to come by and I still don't have the adapter for my solar charger! The climbs of the Green mountains are here and the Whites are waiting behind themm big mountains are coming and I'm ready for them.

-fresh and bella
