Very cold this morning but only a short walk remained between me and a shower and laundry so I kept my warm and dry sleep clothes on for the walk. What a treat.

Most of the distance was over an old woods road or a logging road that descended down to the Lamoille River Valley. In a mere 1:15 I was surrounded by bucolic Vermont countryside. Down on Vt 15 the second car picked me up and deposited me off in "downtown".

I called the hostel from the Grand Union supermarket but nobody answered so I'm taking care of business out of order. I like a shower first but this time it is food, Internet, laundry (where I am now), maybe more food, and then hostel and shower.

Back on the trail tomorrow. This is a nice place so i will probably enjoy it a bit more and do a half day. So i am estimating 4.5 days to finish the trail. How time flies when you're having fun. When I wrote this I never imagined the trouble I was in for.
