We have had a string of absolutely GORGEOUS days when it is clear, dry and not too hot. I have been cooped up inside working (as I should be), unable to hit a mountain. Hiking up somewhere becomes all the more essential as I will soon be losing my base of operations in north Central Vermont and will be striking out from a place 65 miles to the south in south Central Vermont (aïe, I am moving south — it's all relative; I am still in Vermont which is pretty far up there).
I didn't have time to do anything serious today but knew I could take a quick walk up to Cheney field that overlooks the town. It's a 15 minute walk straight uphill to the highest point from where I took this photo looking NW to the Worcester Range beyond Montpelier. Tomorrow if I can swing it, I will go up Hunger Mountain (the highest bump to the left of the range); I haven't been up there yet this year and my time is running out to do it. It's so, so hard.
