Had another great day in VT. We slept at the Big Branch Shelter and swam in the river before making dinner. We had the shelter to ourselves so we spread our things out and lived large. The next morning we had a short hike to Little Rock Pond which was too inviting to ignore... so we stopped for another swim and then snacked on gorp and Cliff bars. The lake was beautiful and surrounded by tree-covered mountains.
We passed by a cool area near White Rocks overlook... there were tons of rock cairns of all shapes and sizes. Some were suspended from tree limbs.
In the afternoon we met Tom, a.k.a. "Plans Too Much", who hiked last year and lives in Rutland. He was really cool and after hiking with him for an hour or so, he invited us back to his house for showers, laundry and a warm place to sleep. He and his wife were very kind and generous and we enjoyed our visit with the Shanahans. Thanks!
Thats all for now,
Steph
