Appalachian Trail from Old Rootville Road in Southern Vermont
to Gulf Road near Pittsfield, Massachusetts with Fran,
August 2011

If you like my pictures or just want to be in touch, please send a message
		We had to go back and re-do a three-mile section of the AT on Bromley Mountain where we lost the trail last year in a heavy rainstorm.  This year we had better weather on this part of the trail.
		Lunch spot by Stratton Pond
		Bromley Mountain in the distance
		Old fire towers on Stratton Mountain and on Glastonbury Mountain provided good views.
		Much of the trail in Vermont and northern Massachusetts had rocks, roots, and mud holes...
		but there were also lovely ponds like this one.  .
		Hurricane Irene posed a severe threat to hikers in late August 2011, and warning notices were posted at the trailheads.
