Now that I have completed the Appalachian Trail from Springer Mountain in Georgia up to Sheffield, Massachusetts (where I stopped in 1999), I need to start doing my sections up there instead of in the south. I do not enjoy summer hiking, and spring in New England is mud season, I will be changing my AT section hike from Spring to Fall because of the weather.
I see no reason not to start *this* fall, so I’m planning on doing Sheffield to Bennington, VT in September. It should take me about a week of hiking plus I will lose two days to driving back and forth. If I can afford the time, I might hike a little more since it’s a long drive, but it’s hard to predict what might be going on in September. I’ve actually done Bennington to Danby-Landgrove Road, so I’d have to jump up north farther to add more Vermont mileage on to the trip.
Fall seems pretty distant right now as it’s been really hot the last couple of days.
