Started the day by dropping off the truck at the Stratton Pond Trail and went back to the Long Trail trail head. It was a beautiful morning with the prospect of a very warm afternoon so we were on the rail by 7:15am. When we gotten to the top we were met by the caretakers.Had a great conversation we them which lasted 30 or more minutes. They had over 250 people at the tower area the day before. We then climbed the tower and had lunch. At this point we had not met another hiker. Headed down the LT to it's junction with the Stratton Pond Trail. Took a break for water and snack, at this point we met a AT Thur hiker. He had been on the trail for 108 days and was hoping to get to the Whites in two weeks. The bugs were a bit pesky on our way out on the Stratton Pond Trail. Met several hikes on this trail. Actual hiking time not counting our visit on top 6.5 hours.
