As soon as we hit the trail we got a beautiful view of Stratton Pond. The pond was crystal clear and for the first time in 3 days, it wasn't raining. The weather was perfect, the temperature around 70 with a strong breeze which makes for nice hiking. Even though it's been rainy and muddy since we've entered Vermont, I have really enjoyed this state. It really is beautiful with it's thick lush forests and serene ponds. Now if we could only see a moose!
We got into Manchester Center, VT around lunchtime and made a quick stop into the local McDonalds. Manchster is unlike any other trail town we've seen thus far. It's a bit more upscale than the other towns we've been through. I like it because every car is either a Volvo or a Subaru. Oh and how could I forget to mention that this is the first town we've gone through with a Lilly Pulitzer store! I guess that would be the main reason I like it so.
We are staying at local inn called Suttons Place right near the heart of town. After we did our chores like laundry and our resupply at the grocery store, we enjoyed a great pizza dinner with our friend Whippersnap. On Mondays pizza is half price in town. Not a bad deal!
