Glastonbury Mountain, Vermont

Wow what a great hike. Perfect weather and full moon. The leaves were incredible. It was the first week in October and absolutely amazing! We set out from The Gathering and hit the trail at a good time of day. We saw the extensive damage from Irene, but I gotta give it up to the Trail Crews. The trail was in great condition. The climb up was great. Saw a few hikers, including the guy that shared Goddard Shelter with us in 2008.

It was just an awesome weekend. The leaves were peaking and it was really warm. Spent time with awesome friends and met new ones. We saw some of the devastation to the area at the hands of Hurricane Irene and this area and north just got it so hard. The cleanup was going really well and a lot of reroutes on the rivers away from house. So many people got stranded because of all of the bridges getting wiped out. Will take Vermont a little while but if they can handle the winters like they have gotten the past few years, they can handle this.
