| Top of the chairlifts! Sugarbush, Lincoln Peak. |
Sometime time this Emily and I made a plan to meet early in the morning on September 12 and hike gap-to-gap on the Monroe Skyline. The 12 miles from Lincoln Gap to Appalachian Gap cross the tops of five mountain peaks: Mt. Abe, Nancy Cutts Peak, Lincoln Peak, Mt. Ellen, General Stark Mtn, Along the way, we had great views east and west from the ridge of the Green Mountains, crawled through a rock cave, found a curious memorial, and chatted up thru-hikers. My legs felt shot after a day of hard, fast hiking, but it was so fun!

| We're smiling, but this section of rock scramble deep into the hike was not easy. |

| You have to hike in a few miles to reach this memorial on the ridgeline. After the hike, we looked up Merritt's story here. |
