Winturri Shelter, The Lookout and Stony Brook Shelter

Another rainy day. The Trail passed through overgrown fields and rocky areas. We walked up and down, up and down some fairly steep hills. After we passed Wintturi Shelter, we continued to climb; eventually, we reached a section where the Trail was almost flat for a little less than 2 miles. We came to The Lookout, which is a private cabin with a roof platform from which you can see beautiful views of the White Mountains behind us and Killington Peak before us—that is, when it's not raining. We took a short break and then made a relatively steep descent down the Trail and crossed the Locust Creek to Chateauguay Road. We continued to hike up and down a series of unnamed hills and then made another steep descent to Stony Brook Road and the brook with the same name, where we stopped to collect water for the night and set up camp near Stony Brook Shelter. Sorry I haven't been able to post pictures; my cell battery is low, and I have to save it to call for a shuttle at our next town stop.

The next few days are supposed to be sunny and warm. I wish I could say the same for my home state, North Carolina, which is awaiting landfall of Hurricane Florence over the next couple of days. Stay safe, everyone.
