Hi everyone! Bennington to Manchester Center was rainy and cold and muddy!! But it was also beautiful and fun! We have a lot of other hikers around us these days as the south bounders are starting to pass us in force! These intrepid hikers started in Maine in June and are making their way to Georgia (opposite to our northbound hike).
I am so grateful to have made it safely to Manchester Center! Vermont had an early cold snap this week and we were unprepared with just our summer set up. A couple of nights of questionable sleep due to being cold and wet but we made it and, with our boxes of winter gear from home and a good resupply of food we are confident to head towards New Hampshire!
Once again, thank you for all the comments and posts of reassurance. It really helped me focus on the present and the priorities this week!
Love to you all and please grab hold of that great, big beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day!!
