AT Hike - Goddard Shelter to Congdon Shelter
Morning was interesting as Theresa stopped for a NOBO hiker who also stopped. When I got there, the NOBO looked at me and said, "I know you!" It was Karate Kate, another friend from our May hike. She told us (correctly) that we would see Dutchie (another friend from May) in an hour. After lunch, we crossed VT 9 and hiked one of the steepest stretches of trail that we have ever seen on the AT. Half a mile took 45 minutes in the heat - and with ten miles already behind us. Wonderful berries at the top of Harmon Hill and we made the shelter an hour before the rain.
