the Way of the Turtle

Off to Vermont on a Rainy Night
Friday, March 7, 2008

So after a heck of a week, I ran around throwing all manner of gear in my bags, loaded up the car, and headed off into the rainy night for the not-so-wilds of Rutland, VT. The drive to Rutland brought back memories of my trip to Woodstock, VT, last May, for the inaugural Mt Tom Road to the Pogue trail race... except of course tonight it was dark and raining and I kept wondering when the rain would turn to ice. Luckily it never did, though there were a few foggy stretches going over the mountains in Vermont.

10:30 PM found me settled in my not-so-luxurious motel room in Rutland, organizing gear and trying to relax sufficiently to go to sleep... because 5 AM would arrive all too quickly.
