    Rt.9 is an easy hitch into Bennington - I've done it a bunch over the years. Lots of traffic and plenty of room for a car to pull over and pick you up safely. Locals expect to see hikers on rt. 9...

    Thanks for this - I was figuring this was the best option - considering the chain supermarket is a bit off the trail and I will not want to use transportation to get there.

    It’s a good first effort. I think it’s highly unusual for an ultra runner with little to no hiking/AT experience to go out and beat it the first time. Kind of why Jureks run was so impressive. The...
