Week 15 begins following a nice overnight in Kent, CT near the New York border. This section included navigating some stream crossings and hitting the 1500 mile marker! Cheer celebrates with a well earned burger in town and beautiful views of the Great Falls along the Housatonic River. Cheer finishes the week with some beautiful mountain peaks including Bear Mountain, Mount Race and Mount Everett with plenty of trail magic to boot and a nice zero in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. (Shoutout SoCo Creamery!)

Cheer begins week 16. A week with lots of mosquitoes and mud following several recent storms but finds solace meeting the 'Cookie Lady' and a nice stay in Dalton, Massachusetts in the yard of Tom Levardi, a trail angel offering donation only camping and breakfast in his yard. (hashtag Pub Trivia Night!)

In addition to some rough days in the mud, Cheer enjoys beautiful views hiking up Stratton Mountain and finishes the week with a stay at the Green Mountain House Hiker Hostel in Manchester Center, Vermont, where Cheer finds of course, more ice cream!
