Day 1: Oh, Canada!

A friend dropped me off at the trailhead up in North Troy, VT around 11:30 a.m. The weather was picture perfect. I passed the Journey's End Shelter about a mile in and continued on to the Northern Terminus of the Long Trail at the VT/Canadian border. There’s a cool monument there. It was a good 1.4-mile hike but I had another 273+ miles to go; so, after a few pics, I got to it.
The first several miles of the trail were pretty easy but then it got hard. But before the tough stuff, I met Pug Dog and North Star, who were hiking northbound (NOBO). They were vlogging their trek and interviewed me on my first day. You'll note I was pretty impressed with the trail so far!
And then I got introduced to the climbs. Welcome to the rugged north, I muttered to myself. The climb up Doll's Peak was particularly relentless. The good news was my home for the night was on the other side.
I finally made it to the Laura Woodward Shelter around 6:00 p.m., capping off a 10.1-mile day. Two other NOBO hikers arrived soon after with their dogs. One of them hiked the AT a few years back and attempted a thru of the LT last year but she broke her ankle on Camel's Hump. She had a friend join her to complete the unfinished portion.
All in all, not a bad start to the journey.
crear una cuenta en Afun me tomó menos de lo que pensaba, y eso que suelo odiar estos formularios. Acá fue bastante al grano: eliges tu usuario, pones una contraseña y te validan con el móvil usando el típico código, sin vueltas raras. Me llamó la atención que insisten un poco en lo de la contraseña segura (mínimo 8 caracteres y mezcla de cosas), que suena obvio pero se agradece que lo recuerden ahí mismo. También se nota que lo pensaron para hacerlo rápido, como de “en un minuto listo”, y no te pierdes buscando qué sigue. Lo que más me gustó es que la info del registro está separada en bloques cortos con un paso a paso bien visible…
trang chủ jd88 mình thấy nhiều người nhắc nên cũng bấm vào coi thử cho biết, kiểu tò mò giao diện thôi chứ không định ngồi đọc kỹ hay làm gì. Vừa vào là thấy trang sắp xếp khá dễ thở, các phần tách khối rõ ràng nên mắt bắt thông tin nhanh, không bị cảm giác chữ dồn dập. Mình hay dùng điện thoại nên để ý mấy ô nội dung xếp theo cột nhìn gọn, kéo xuống vẫn ổn chứ không loạn. Cái mình thích nữa là menu đặt chỗ dễ thấy, bấm qua lại vài mục là hiểu họ gom nội dung theo nhóm như thế nào. Nói chung lướt vài phút là nắm được cách họ…
