Spotted a car on the Upper Cold River Road and went back to the Killington Mountain Parking lot as our starting point. The weather was sunny and with very little breeze even at the summit of Killington. We stopped at the junction of the Killington Spur Trail and the LT to take a look at Cooper Lodge and the tent sites. Both need some serious attention. Most of the tent sites were unusable and Cooper Lodge was a mess. From the junction we headed down the LT. Just a great day to be on the trail. Stopped Governor Clement Shelter for lunch. Talked to some AT thru hikers headed north. One lady was suffering from a sore foot and was headed to Route #4 and was going to catch a ride into Rutland to have the foot checked out. From the shelter it was on to the car but not before we some of the destruction left behind by Irene along the brook. |

| The trail from Killington south was a sweet, magical piece of the LT. |

| The following images document how poor some people behave, with no appreciation for the beauty and hospitality of the LT, and Vermont. This is the shelter just off the summit of Killington. I'm willing to bet, LT'ers don't do this. Sad. |

| Remnants of a bridge resulting from Tropical Storm Ireme. There is a new bridge at the road crossing now. |
