Thank you all for the specific and helpful info. Gotta love these forums! That Coolidge Hotel in White River Junction looks promising ( on NORTH Main Street, however). I called them and they also have fancier "guest rooms" with A/C for $69 a night ($79 for two) and they are on the...

Leaving on Monday Hey FF, or whomever. I'm hitting the trail next week (July 17th) for two weeks on the AT from Killington on up North. I might even make it to the Whites, if I'm lucky. Wouldn't it be a gas some time to hook up with another hiking guitarist. I actually use a tiny three...

End To End LT Guide has realistic book times As a hiker who leans to the slow side, I found that the book time of the LT fit me almost perfectly, but the North was definitely a bit more rugged. It's a wonderful trail, however, and your idea about getting off the trail easier in the Southern...

Many thanks, David. I'm kind of reluctant to let the luck of the bulletin board decide whether I sleep in a bed after a week on the trail, especially since I'm coming in to town on Friday or Saturday night. At the tender age of 51 the Frat boys could also give me a bit of a run for my money...

I'm looking for a comfortable place to stay in an area of Hanover that will be ... 1. close to a PO pickup and laundromat 2. within walking distance of the best downtown strolling/shopping area. I've have heard that Hanover is a nice place for a hiker off the AT to hang out for a...

A great bus ride home from the LT I did a S/N End To End on the LT, finishing up in North Troy NY, where Rose Apple Acres picked me up. After a comfy night's rest they brought me to Newport the next morning. From there I caught the RCT and transferred to the Vermont Transit bus system. I...

Went South To North in 2004 I had a great time going South to North last summer, and it was the first hiking I had ever done except for some overnights in the NH huts. I did a lot of prior planning and took it slowly ... about ten miles daily, finishing in 28 days. I got off the trail and...

Leaning toward the North I'm starting to think that Killington North would work the best. I can do as many miles as possible and stop when I've had enough. On first glance that area seems to have fewer peaks until I hit the Whites. That,s the reason that I'm considering the Berkshires...

I'm hitting the AT next week for a two week section hike. Last summer I did an end to end of the Vermont Long Trail and so I'm planning on adding to the 100 AT miles that were completed on that trip. That means I can go south from Williamstown MA (and hit the Berkshires right away)or north...

Summer hiking partner needed Greetings, You may already be out on the trail by now (June 4) but just in case I'd like to let you know that I am planning to hike for about two weeks this July or August, and I am also open for ideas as to where and when that would take place. I did the...
