My partner "Fresh Air" and I did our first of (hopefuly) six section hikes for 2002 from the Delaware Water Gap to Kent Connecticut. We passed through all of New Jersey, all of New York and the first 12 miles or so of Connecticut.

May 10 - May 23, 2002

This was our second AT section hike of the season, from Kent on up into Vermont and getting off the trail in Manchester. Although the weather was sunny 70 degrees when we started and ended, we were hit by a freak snowstorm when we got to Mount Greylock. It was unseasonably cold up past Stratton Mountain.

September 7 - September 20, 2002

This was my fifth and last section hike of this season, around 100 miles from Route 2 near Gorham New Hampshire to Route 27 near Stratton Maine. I was joined by my daughter Payslee for this hike. Fresh Air, my regular partner, unfortunately broke his ankle shortly before we were to start, and had to sit this section out.

I've separated some pictures of hikes that are far enough off the AT so that most hikers would be likely to skip them. As of now they are:

Mount Abraham - September 18, 2002
Mount Redington - September 20, 2002

Enjoy
