    Most likely you will never be hitching into town alone, there will be other hikers wanting to hitch a ride too, you will never be alone too long on the trail

    Safety: One word ... okay TWO words ... Neck Knife [use a toggle instead of a knot] ... doesn't have to be heavy or large, just enough to show you mean business.

    AS I've said before, if only Meredith Emerson had had a weapon instead of relying on her "martial arts" skills and her Lab ... Unless a Dog is Trained, don' expect it to protect you ... OKAY, maybe a Pit Bull, maybe a German Shepherd, a Doberman, a Rottweiler ... but NOT a Lab.

    READ the rules about Hitching ... It's ILLEGAL in certain States ... BETTER to keep the shuttle list handy than to worry about an arrest ... and wear that neck knife.

    Sounds like the name of an Alfred Hitchcock movie ... "You will never be alone too long on the Trail" ... maybe Rod Serling's Twilight Zone?

    Thanks for the chilling thought.

    I have been seriously thinking about going next year also. I was worried about being alone, ( yes, I'm a female ) but after reading about all the other women going solo I'm thinking I might do it. It would be nice if a group of us could start together and then if we decide to head out on our own later we could. : )

    The Vermont section is very nice. Glastenbury Fire Tower is good, as well as Stratton Pond.
