I hiked the AT in Vermont and Massachusetts and don't remember walking through water. Maybe I was there during the dry season?
Lots of mud for me in the LT part of VT, but don't really remember fording streams other than one where the bridge was closed.NoAngel wrote:

Day 3 Whitetop Mtn to Wise Shelter 4/3/17
Woke to a cloudy morning with the fog rolling in and it would deteriorate from there. Visibility dropped to less than 100 ft and the wind picked up to I would say about 40 mph with rain. Just Wonderful ! (dripping with sarcasm). Stopped at Wise Shelter after 11.7 miles as it started thundering and lightning. Spent the night in the shelter with 6 others.

Day 6 Marion to Atkins April 7
Took the 11 am bus back to the top of the mountain even though the winds were still supposed to be 30 mph + (they were) and it was supposed to snow at higher elevations (it did). Met "Cropduster " on the bus who earned his named farting as he past a fellow hiker. It started flurring right as we got off the bus. By the time we climbed out of the gap there was about 2" on the ground. The snow stopped about 2pm and it warmed up melting almost all of it. Stopped in the one room school house for pictures and trail magic. Dinner at the Red Barn - had them make me cheeseburger with mustard, onions, and chili (redneck or Carolina burger) and spent the night at the old motel. 11.1 miles.

When I got to the Chestnut Knob Shelter, I dropped my pack, laid down in the grass to soak up the sun, and told my hiking partner that I was done for the day. One of my better decisions on the AT. I even got to meet Dakota Joe later in the day.Drybones wrote:

Felt so good the next day that I pulled a 22-miler to Route 52.

I talked to them for about five minutes. It was late in the day and I had several more miles to go. Going sobo there was no where for them to camp for at least 5 or 6 miles. I thought they were very very naive. Basically young and nice and nuckin' futz.TrafficJam wrote:
