Okay... you asked for it... so here it is... THE "X" FACTOR (photos that have been taken but not published in our Blogs). The above photo shows that (at this point) we are only 557 miles from Katahdin! This is 2 miles from where we get off the trail to make our way to the [...]
I must say that walking thru FERNVILLE, VERMONT (where all you see on the ground… for as far as you can see on the ground… are ferns) was a pleasant sight atop this mountain. Although the predominant color is still green… hiking out into these fields of ferns was a welcomed sight coming out from [...]
You might be thinking... "Did Tripper misspell Vermont?" Nope... because Vermont is known by us as "Vermud!" To top it all off... these above photos are taken during a drought! Imagine the trail after a day or so of rain! Regardless of what color shoes you might be wearing... after a few miles in this [...]
Are you familiar with the hyped up television show/ series: KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS? Today, in Massachusetts, would make for a fun segment to the show! As we are walking through Great Barrington, Slipper sees a Hair Salon and says, "I want to get my hair cut," and without hesitation we are walking into [...]
Coming into Salisbury, Connecticut we catch a ride with Andy Savage (Owner of Savage Construction) who drops us off in town (after we booked a room with Maria McCabe). Thanks Andy for the ride… we look forward to catching back up with you and Kim after the hike! We stop off at the Country Bistro [...]
Did I say in an earlier post that we love Connecticut? If not... let me say it now... WE LOVE CONNECTICUT and the CONNECTICUT CHARM! Slipper and I both commented how much the views remind us of the North Georgia Mountains! I think (truth be known) we are both a little home sick. Being that [...]
We love the quaint and cool vibe of Kent, Connecticut! We camped along side 10 Mile River last night and decided that we would spend FATHER'S DAY IN KENT, CONNECTICUT! We hiked into camp around 4:30 pm yesterday afternoon and when we saw the river, we knew this would be the place to be. We [...]
What can I say… we are suckers for A PHOTO FINISH to each day! As we continue our journey forward and northbound, we are always pausing and stopping to take photos of what we deem as being memorable. On the trail “water” is life (be it from a lake… a pond… a creek… a stream… [...]
Since it's not about the miles... IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SMILES! Slipper and I had the joy of meeting these three ladies while hiking and have been so much encouraged by their smiles and kind expressions. After all... IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SMILES! We meet a Trail Maintainer in New York who was cleaning and [...]
We love to stealth camp at night and there really is THE STEALTH CAMP ADVANTAGE! First of all, what am I referring to when I say: "Stealth Camp" (as this term can have different meanings)? For Slipper and I, "stealth camping" is when we find a special, secluded, secret, single place to camp (where others [...]
