Sunday Dirt
Lovely ~30 miles with Greg exploring the pavement and dirt near Montpelier. This was the first ride on the IF in a long long long time, and I felt good, despite not riding much this summer.
We pedaled pavement out of Montpelier, made a stop at Maple Corners store, then explored dirt.
We eventually were swamped out, so we turned around and backtracked.
And stopped to enjoy the pond on the way back to pavement.
Mt. Hunger
A lovely, muddy, mixed terrain lollipop hike up Mt. Hunger and then over to White Rocks. ~6 miles, 2000′ of up.
Blue skies warm temps,

Camel’s Hump June 2017
Got out for my first hike up Camel’s Hump of 2017 a few weeks agp. Took my time, enjoyed the climb. After chatting with two trail runners I had the summit to myself for coffee.
10 Years
10 years ago, on a Friday with an auspicious number, in October we were married in a picnic shelter on the shoulder of Mt. Mansfield. The following day we hiked over the mountain with friends, our pooch, and my nephew.
We went out to celebrate with a summit hike again – from Underhill up Sunset Ridge to ‘the Chin’.
Instead of the calamity of walking down the Stowe side of the mountain with the dog and 10 year old nephew, while waiting for friends to drive around and get us, we came down Laura Cowles trail, which was entertaining in itself – with ice up high, water, slippery rock and leaves…
