Day 5 (August 3rd) - Vermont to Mass

Our last day in Vermont! Should be a short day down to civilization in Massachusetts but somehow it's still hard on us. Drinking and sweating lots of water. Lunch at Eph's Lookout overlooking Williamstown. Fun rocky climb down to North Adams. We're headed to Porches, a funny hotel made from seven old houses, for a short dose of the comforts we've been missing. We usually don't do this on day 5, but then we usually don't hike in August, and we're filthy and tired.

Ah.. that's better!

After a couple hours' cleanup we head into town to catch Everything Must Go! Walk into this shop and pick out a rotating sculpture to take home -- for free! (Hurry, they're going fast!) Below is one of the Hatfield minions testing our picks. She was kind enough to let us leave them here for now so we don't have to carry them for the next 250 miles.
