Vermont is Beautiful

Will called this morning and reported all is well. He has been in some remote areas of Vermont and unable to charge his phone until today when they were able to hit a town for a resupply. He reported that they passed the 1600 mile tree 2 days and should make the August 10-14 finish with no problem. He is traveling with Castor, Corny and one other. These guys have been together off and on for a while now. They are in day 2 of a 5 day push. During that time they hope to get at least 25 miles in a day. It was so good to hear from him - he sounded great! He is so close to finishing. I am so proud of him!

1 empty blue dry bag

1 pair of gaiters with a broken shoe strap

What was he thinking?
