Two brothers, one Trail, how hard can it be? "Ain't nuthin'" is the usual response from these two characters along the Appalachian Trail.

Countdown to Hike 2008

Stratton, VT to North Clarendon, VT


Stratton Mountain is a great place to pause, eat lunch and climb the fire tower! Stratton Pond, a few miles north (it's actually west, but north by AT standards), is a great place to camp. Our travelers had another fine hiking year, only raining when the fire was ready for steaks one night. Tin Man: "How do you like your pan fried steak?" Bartender: "Green side up." Tin Man: "It hasn't been thawed that long...well, maybe." Bartender, a short while later: "This tastes interesting. [pause] But good!"

The trail over Stratton misses the ski resort by 3/4 miles, but it goes right up the center of a ski trail on Bromley. Neat! Thank the maker they didn't need ski's though.

October 2004, 49.4 miles
