August 1 & 2, 1998 - Vt. 125 to Lincoln Gap

In our 2014 - 2015 Trek, there were a few sections we didn't do over again, but we had documentation on.  One is this section.  Below is what we'd taken note of, even writing on the back of our photos (2 are scanned in below) so we wouldn't forget! 

Another overnight trip on the LT. We spotted a vehicle at Lincoln Gap early on the 1st and started from Middlebury Gap heading north.  Stopped at Skyline Lodge for a break, snapped photos, and went on.  We wanted to hit Cooley Glen Shelter for the night.  This was an overnight section and the weather was spectacular.  We put up camp at Cooley Glen but moved away from the shelter a bit because of a noisy group of folks.  We are always glad we bring our tent!  Because we only had a few miles out the 2nd day, we were at Sunset Ledge early for a lovely westerly view.  On our way down to Lincoln Gap from Sunset Ledge, we met a group of hikers on their way up to Sunset Ledge to see the morning!  Glad we were off the view point when the group came through.  So many spots along the way we snapped photos of the mountains preceding us and receding from us.  A gorgeous section!
