Brody Stories: Hiking Abraham & Ellen VT

Oh! Hi again! Hi Hi HHIIEEEE!

In case you didn’t have the pleasure of meeting me before,
my name is Brody, I was adopted by my mom and dad not too long ago, and most
of the time
they are the best parents in the whole world.

Ya know I really love that they love the outdoors as much as
I do, but sometimes my mom is a little too crazy about it.

Last weekend best friend Baxter came over to my Grand-momma
Chucks house and spent the night so that our moms could take us hiking the next
day.

I was so excited I got up a couple times in the night and my
mom had to put me back to sleep, but eventually she finally got her lazy butt
up and we drove all the way up to Bristol VT. We left Baxter’s moms car in Jerusalem at the Jerusalem trail head
and took my mom’s car to the Lincoln Gap Trail head. The road up there was
REALLY steep, and Baxter and I were all excited because we knew we would get to
play in the woods soon.

The Lincoln Gap trail up to Abraham was super easy for me, but I had to
keep going back to check on my mom, she’s a lot slower than I am. I had a
little trouble with a couple of the scrambles, but I got through them all on my
own, and after 2.6 miles we were at the top. We had to go on the leash then
because of the vegetation up there, but that was ok, I was ready for a snack and
a little break, plus it was pretty.

 

Next we hiked along the ridge, for about 3.7 miles. It was
pretty easy and a nice walk, Baxter and I had a good time racing up and racing
back to our moms. We got to take little a break near Sugar Bush, and a quick stop to read the sign on Lincoln peak, then by the
time we finally hit Mount Ellen I was starting to feel tired. Luckily Mom took
a break and I got to take a quick nap in the soft grass before we started to descend
the 4.3 miles down the mountain. The first part was pretty rocky, and steep,
but then it flattened out some and was easy downhill walking the rest of the
way out.

When we finally got to the car our moms told us that they
were left the keys in the other car, so we had to keep walking down the road to
the country store and wait for my Grand-momma to come save us. She’s the best.

It was a lot of fun, and also super tiring. I did nothing
but sleep on the way home, and all the next day. Mom was pretty much there with
me since we hiked a total of about 12 miles (including the 1.4 to the store).
 

Welp that’s all for now! Have a great weekend!!

Oh P.S. My mom wants me to give a shout out to Carrie for some awesome pictures of me!
