AT NOBO 2024 - Governor Clement shelter tent site (mi. 1696.6) to Inn at Long Trail (mi. 1708.2)
Governor Clement shelter tent sit (mi. 1696.6) to Inn at Long Trail (mi. 1708.2) What a great day! Pretty easy hike to the parking lot then on to the Inn. We summited Killington this morning but it was mostly clouded in, it was still cool up there though. We arrived at the inn in time for lunch then set about doing our chores as usual, which included a delightful shower. My friend Ottavio drove 2 hours to meet us and take us out to dinner … amazingly thoughtful! 💕
While he was here he also drove me to the post office to get my mail drop, as well as to the grocery store for things Solar and I needed. Having a car is such a luxury 😃
We will be back on the trail tomorrow, and plan to hit Hanover, NH on Monday the 5th. There will only be 2 states left to conquer at that point 🙌🏻
Todays menu: A package of cold soak oatmeal, 4 Snickers bars, a bunch of licorice, a buffalo chicken salad, 6 bone-in chicken wings, 3 pints of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, a Michelob ultra, a smoked turkey sandwich, small dish of cole slaw, a packet of Carnation instant breakfast, a fountain ginger ale, and water with electrolyte powder.

Stealth tent site (mi. 1674.4) to Governor Clement shelter tent sit (mi. 1696.6) By the good graces of 3 trail angels, we were able to turn this into a monster day! 😈 All I had left for food was a packet of oatmeal and a Carnation instant breakfast to start the day, and I ate those for breakfast. I got cheap at the Stratton Mountain Lodge because of the high prices, and left myself short. The f...

Spruce Peak Shelter (mi. 1655.3) to Stealth tent site (mi. 1674.4) Woof!That was a rugged 19 mile day, mostly due to the fact that I haven’t slept well the last 3 nights. When you don’t get your rest out here it really comes back to bite you in the afternoons. I’m in my tent for the night now and we are right beside a large stream, so the white noise should really help. I need it, we have a big...

Story Spring shelter tent site (mi. 1637) to Spruce Peak Shelter (mi. 1655.3) A long wet day of hiking, especially the last 11 miles. We did hit the 3/4s of the way point today but there was no sign 🤷♂️ you’ll just have to take my word for it. Earlier in the day we summited Stratton Mt. and got to ride the gondola, after a .75 mile side trail walk, down to the resort village where we had lunch...

Bennington, VT (mi. 1618) to Story Spring shelter tent site (mi. 1637) Today was one of my favorite hiking days yet, 19 miles of up all day. I know what you’re thinking, but I’m just not a big fan of down, mostly because I go so slow. Weather and temps were about perfect and water was ample. Not a lot of great tent sites here but I’ll make do by strategically placing sneakers here and there und...

Stealth tent site (mi. 1610.9) to Bennington, VT (mi. 1618) I learned a new hiking term today …. “getting stuck in the vortex”. Our original plan was to hike 7 miles into Bennington for their trail fest then get back on the trail and do about 9 more. Well, the spread of food and amenities they had there was awesome, including showers at the Rec center next door, charging stations, etc. Solar su...

Mark Noepel Shelter (mi. 1590) to Stealth tent site (mi. 1610.9) A loooong but a good day. Started off with quite a climb to the summit of Mt. Greylock. There’s a lodge at the summit where we got some breakfast, then climbed to the top of the war memorial there. I got some great video/pictures of it. We then had quite a descent to the town of N. Adams, MA where some pretty good trail magic awai...

Pittsfield, MA zero day #4 (mi. 1576.1) Had to walk a few road miles today, but there’s no credit for that haha. Walked to a breakfast place then went over and hung outside the public library to upload 4 videos. Kept walking another mile or so and got picked up by “Billy Jack”, a local who did 3 LASHES (Long Ass Section Hikes) of the AT, finishing last year. He took us to Walmart and he gave us...

As we entered town we walked right by an ice cream stand so that pulled me in like a magnet and I had a banana split. It worked out well because the post office was closed from 1-2pm so I showed up ther...

Careful 😅🤣
😜
Yeah, Stratton is $$$. The Bromley Market at the bottom of Bromley is yummy (bbq) and more affordable, but obviously not is same location as Stratton.
Thanks that is good to know! I do like me some BBQ 😀
That inn looks like the perfect little place to stay! 🥰 That pub looked an awesome too. Great pics of you guys!! 😃
It was …. except it didn’t have AC 🧊
That rock garden is pretty cool! 😍 Lots of beautiful views in that area. 🌲 Awesome question Billy!! 🤗
It was very cool. I was going to stop and build a cairn, but I was too tired 😂
One thing I've learned by watching this is, support is a must. Besides the food and supplies, the emotional support by meetings people along the way. So awesome for you. Your a strong man brother.
Well said and thanks Shawn!
What a cozy little inn! Looked like a nice afternoon 😊
It was a beautiful day ☀️ 🙌🏻
Beautiful inn!
It was! … an AC unit would’ve been nice though 😂
Can’t believe less than 500 miles to go! 👏🏼 Awesome trail angels to save the day!
Yes they did! 🙏
Sometimes, as Solar said, a story can be made better. 82 views so far. Would have been well over a million if Solar had gotten fried. Probably better this way, but….I’m glad to see you both keep on hiking strong.
It’s a balance 😂
candy man arrived home and watching on my living room tv!
Awesome! Glad you made it home safe and sound … definitely better watching on a tv 👍🏻
I love that section and the Noepel shelter bunk. And Berkshire Outfitters- get my xc skis there!
Yes, that is a cool shelter!
Also love the photo credits at the end, haha!
Have to give credit where credit is due 😂 👍🏻
Good work not becoming road kill! 🤣 Haha I love Solar’s clip! 😃 crazy story! Glad he survived haha. Not worth the extra views. 🤣
He wholeheartedly agrees 🙌🏻 😆
I like the hat in “Sloggy mode” 😂
💯 💕
Awesome trail fest! 😎
Yes it was! So nice of Bennington, VT! 🙏
Neat seeing Stump Knocker again! 😀
The best!
I love Solar’s new friend! 😀🐻 That’s a pretty fancy shelter!
First bear he’s seen since New York haha!
Also excellent photography Solar. 🤓
He thanks you kindly! 🙏
WOW that breakfast looked awesome!! 👏🏼 that is some good hiking fuel. I love the “Sloggy mode.” 😎😁
It was awesome … in full effect 🤛
Love the pic at 0:12!! Looks like it could be in a magazine. 😃 That trail fest looked like a ton of fun! 🥳
It was!
Awesome questions! I’m really liking the QFTP segment. 😃
Thank you so much! 💕
I like the thing at 3:35! Neat. 😀 love the unboxing always!! You can never go wrong with a bag of licorice. 🤣 Beard is coming along nicely!
Getting it ready for 🎅 mode!
Nice pic of you at 10:59 😀
Ty! ❤️
Thank you brother
“………those” while you’re doing your unboxing 😂😂😂
Had me stumped 🤔…
not many people are lucky enough to get a catered breakfast from the Blue Benn! Woot! It was year 3 for us, and I'll suggest we buy earplug for campsite location. Yeah, the hike outta Woodford NoBo is 9 miles uphill no matter how you slice it. Happy hiking!
Yes! Shoutout to all involved on making the Fest happen 🙏
Also, I think your tent site now that you're on the National Forest meets the "remote" term since technically you're allowed to camp 100 - 200' off trail / away from water/road in the National Forest =) PS: I live in Maine too (but from Bennington).
Ty! 🙏
We are glad you got stuck in our Vortex! There actually used to be a trail angel hiker house in Bennington called, "The Vortex". Happy hiking! Silvia, Bennington A.T. Community
So awesome definitely a place I would’ve liked to have stayed!
Imagine how many hikers have stayed at Tom Levardi’s house over the last 45+years!😊 Bacon Wrap
Yes, I can’t imagine, you should check out the movie about him recently put up on UA-cam.
Ruth and Mike are awesome!🍪
Very!
Sweet pics Solar
He says thank you!
Hey new subscriber. I live in Bennington. Glad you stayed for the movie and breakfast! You will love the Camino! I think I spotted Caboose at a shelter. Carrie from Florida. Hope you finish the AT strong and maybe someday come back to finish the Long Trail!
Thank you so much! 🙏 I definitely would like to finish it 👍🏻
Looks good bro!!
It was haha … much less yellow than New Jersey!
Cell service is rough in Vermont I’m sure! 🌲
Its actually been better than I thought it would be, at least so far 👍🏻
Smart!! 😀
Cheaper too! 😀
Looks much better! 😀
Ahhhh yea 😂
I could put 5:35-6:12 on repeat and sleep peacefully
All night, every night 💯
I would agree with this 100%!
Nice and clear 😎
Yes! No yellow tinge 🤢
You passed my favorite house on the trail at 2:14. A beautiful lab came out to greet us there and while Babyblue was enthusiastically patting him, he decided that he needed to mark his territory. Fortunately I was the only one to see or her trail name might have changed! I love hiking along with your videos.
Hahaha! The dreaded trail name you don’t want!
There is nothing redeeming about Pearisburg.
I concur ..,
Liquid sunshine! I love hiking in the rain as long as it’s not 10 days in a row.
Haha! My limit is 3 👍🏻
Hell yeah dude, score!
I mean 💯 right?
Very cute question video! 🩷 Can’t believe that was over 100 days ago!
I know right! Crazy 🕰️
QFTP real answer: you are from Maine where the mosquito is the state bird. You don’t need bug spray until you get further north!
😂 💯
Chaffing, ticks, and no ice cream. The dreaded toils of the AT. Babyblue’s favorite thing to do is night hiking. I loved going as long as one could without turning on the headlamp.
For sure! I love the stillness of the woods in the twilight hours … 🌙
Soggy Sloggy 😂😂 That’s pretty good on falls considering all the miles you have covered! 😆 That’s a cool idea to pick the berries for the burgers! 🍔 That food looked delicious.
Thanks haha! I’m still 20 falls behind Blazedog 👍🏻
I love the idea of the farm stand with the Venmo! Makes it super convenient. 👍🏻😊 That cabin looked like an awesome place to stay. 🥞
It was a great idea … I love the high bush blueberries 😃
That’s a nice lookin’ field at 1:58. 😃 Sweet trail magic!
Yes it was!
Wow that’s an awesome water supply!! Also I think that was your cutest question segment so far. 😀
I think so too! 💕
Thank you for taking the time to answer questions about hiking the AT at the coffee shop this morning. Look forward to watching as you complete the trail.
Hey Jimmy, no problem at all! It was great to meet and speak with you 👍🏻 Feel free to email me at: sloggyhikes@gmail.com with any other questions.
