Captains Log:
First Mate Stephanie and I awoke at Goddard shelter where we rode out a terrible rain storm and the snoring of several Klingons. Some hikers refer to Vermont as Vermud and today we found out why. The trail is beautiful but really wet. We slogged through to Kid Gore Shelter a whopping 4 miles before we stopped for lunch. After some quick cheese and crackers we were off to explore more of this (un)charted trail. We were rained on for much of the next 5 miles. When we arrived at Story spring shelter I hatched a cunning plan to shave six miles off the tail by taking a blue blaze short cut through Lye Wilderness Area. We hopped off the A.T. and onto some less traveled trails for a even muddier hike to Bourne Pond shelter about 6 miles away. After I made a delicious pasta alfredo sauce dinner for us, Stephanie made the perfect bowl of pudding. We should hit Manchester Center around Lunch tomorrow and then back onto the A.T.
That is all.
