Two in one day?

Today has been a zero day. We spent it together in Lincoln, NH. A lot of things happened. First my friend Pete from CCMI or Conservation Corps of MN and IA happened to be in the area. He picked us up and we played disc golf at a kiddie disc golf course on a ski resort. Image "driving" 40 feet... We had our fun there ava then went to McDonald's and played Settlers of Catan. Sometimes though a game should just end and there are Catan games that can last an hour too long. This wasn't one of those and we ended just in time to see Ant-Man. Which I give a 6 out of 10 because the front end of the movie was loaded with the genesis story to be ended with a cool fight and some of the best humor of any of the Marvel movies. It has a few inconsistent scenes that pulled me away though. In the end they promise a sequel and I wouldn't mind paying money to watch it too.

Then we got Mexican, played pool and listened to some music we've had stuck in our heads while we walk from a jute box.

Now I'm curling up on my mattress for an early start tomorrow and hiking with a full pack since the 1st.

Good night,

Much rain

Today is our third day in the Whites and it has been crazy. We swam down a mountain, dodged lightning with skill and fought a legion of merfolk with nothing but our trekking poles and the items in our back pack. Lucky for us we have ginger hulk.

Haha but really very storm. We maybe hiking out into it again today. Currently we are in Lincoln, NH. A goofy guy opened his house to hikers

My phone got pretty wet and is telling me that's it's too cold and doesn't want to charge. This could be my last update until I get a new one or it stops complaining.

Happy trails,

Scott Scout Shipley

Short and Sweet

A complete victory over the past two days. I have slept on a mattress for two nights in a row. What we've given up on miles had paid off in comfortable sleep. Today we've left Vermont. Hello New Hampshire! I'm an excited panda. 442 miles left to go.

I jumped off a bridge six times into a river. I would do it everyday if I could. The thrill of life rushing by as I fall into cold, refreshing dark. I'm prepared for the Whites.

Midnight sky, Crazy people

We stayed at The Lookout last night. What a beautiful shelter. No water or privy, but worth it for the sky and the avoidance of a ridiculous bum who has no food or money and he's a complete jerk, drunk. Someday we'll never see him again.

Right now we've preparing ourselves for the Whites. Still a few miles out, but it looks tough.

Write or call sometime

Mountain Lodge and disc golf

Yesterday was Sunday and Burn Out had a package at the Killington post office. We did 10 miles and I stayed in a shed. The best part of my day was playing disc golf with HB. It was that beautiful time of the afternoon/evening. I also bought new socks! It's about time for I was down to one pair. Life is good.

Love ya all,
Scout

Less than 500 miles

We came out of Rutland, VT last night and today we're crossed a mile marker. Stayed at a shelter with a guitar, a flute and a recorder. It would have been awesome I'd the trumpeter didn't play rivalry at dawn. Hiking straight up a mountain Killington time.
