![]() ![]() It was early afternoon, certainly enough time to make it to Cowles Cove in time to get there and have dinner without rushing. The terrain between Birch Glen and Cowles Coves should make it a quick walk. I figured after spending some time here, I’d move on to Cowles Cove Shelter 2.9 miles closer to Camel’s Hump. His mileage suggested that, but Birch Glen just felt right. It’s also possible he might have stayed at Theron Dean Shelter which I passed yesterday on my hurried descent into App Gap. Well, Birch Glen sure fit that verbal description. He didn’t name the shelter in his journal entry for this day, just stating that it was a nice camp near the top of the Stark Mountains. The mileage didn’t exactly match his description. If my goal was to try to match up with the places he camped, his description of this stretch made that difficult to figure out. My plan for today was to stop at Birch Glen Shelter and spend some time there to look over the maps and read my father’s description of his journey again. I planned to just snack while walking to save time.Ĭould those clouds be a harbinger of things to come? So I was up early, and on the trail just after 6:00, skipping coffee and breakfast. And there were afternoon thunderstorms in the forecast. Today would be a race to get to App Gap by 2:30 to meet my prearranged shuttle to town for a needed resupply. My father nailed it in his diary, it really was one mountain after another in this Division. I was so sore and lame tonite that all I had for supper was a cup of cocoa. So far we just took our time and though the average mileage per hour is 1½, we have averaged nearly 2 miles per hour for the entire trip. I’m going to make Camel’s Hump tomorrow or die in the attempt. I am so dirty and bug bitten that you probably won’t recognize me. The packs weigh about 20 lbs each, 7 of which is bacon. The camp here is the best we have struck so far, near the top of the Stark Mountains. We passed a burned camp and an abandoned one. The little bit that was left from dinner was luke warm. We had a four-mile hike over the mountains without water. Abraham we could see the length of the state. Got first glimpse of Lake Champlain from Mt. If my boots last the rest of the trip, I’ll be lucky. Spent two hours on top of Mt Abraham for dinner and to rest our feet. ![]() Climbed one mountain after another today. Notes from 1937, Long Trail Division VIII This doesn’t happen with anything else I sync with Mountain Duck so I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue and if there was something I could do about it.This series chronicles a comparison of hiking experiences on the Long Trail from 19. I mainly work on a Windows 10 computer, the files are synced to an Ubuntu server (which never edits the files), and I sometimes use a Mac to edit the files.ĭisconnecting from the remote file storage and reconnecting, then refreshing each file that ran into an error fixes the problem, but that’s more than frustrating. It runs into errors mainly on the workspace file, attached images, and the markdown files themselves. I got it all the time in one of the older 0.8.x versions, but when the cache got moved, that fixed most of the problems although not all of them. Usually, the issue occurs on my Windows 10 computer (which is what I make the most edits on). I’ve also been getting a lot of errors with syncing. I’ve been using an Obsidian vault stored on a device that’s connected with Mountain Duck. ![]()
