    VIDEO: Long Trail - Part 5 ... The Journey Continues

    Father's Day Weekend I headed back to the Green Mountain state for Division 6 of the Long Trail. Hiking with my friend Kevin we stage the cars late Friday night, but leave enough time for dinner, music and a good nights sleep at the Inn at Long Trail on US4. First thing Saturday morning, after breakfast, we work our way 5 miles past Rolston shelter and on our way to David Logan shelter for a total of 12.7 miles. Over night the rain came, and did it! With 7.2 miles left to the car we embrace the slop, stop by Sunrise shelter for a quick snack and make our way to Brandon Gap. It was an incredible 19.9 mile trip and what a way to spend Father's Day.

    Thanks for watching,

    Rob (Fancy Feet)

    Very cool man, glad you are enjoying the trail so much! I just started sorting gear and getting my food list together last night for my upcoming End-to-End Next month, getting psyched

    Another great video! I love sleeping in the hammock with the rain hitting the tarp. I'm not thrilled about hiking in the rain, but that didn't look too bad. At least it wasn't snowing.

    Looking forward to the next section.

    Looked like a lot of fun. You got to LOVE sleeping under your tarp in a rain storm.
