From the Journals: DAY 97, May 31

Coach
Williamstown, MA - Hell Hollow Brook: 21.7mi
Made a good push out of Williamstown. Nothing too exciting, but we did use the Bivy sacks thanks to Professor's Mother in law, Sherry. They will no doubt prove to be worth their weight in gold.

We saw a MOOSE! Entered Vermont and started hiking on the "Long Trail" which coincides with the AT for over a hundred miles, then peels off and goes to the Canadian border. The foliage is so dense now that we are full on into Summer we almost ran smack into the face of a moose. I'm in my bivy sack, it works great! Thanks Sherry! Feels kinda crazy we needed to push out some miles today so we pushed almost until dark. The only place we could find to camp is a mosquito and black fly infested area next to a stream. Made a fire and put some half wet wood on it to create smoke to keep bugs at bay while we ate dinner.
