A hiker's encounter with two trail uncles on the Long Trail

A hiker begins their journey on Vermont's Long Trail, facing steep terrain, sudden storms, and the physical demands of the route. The day starts with excitement at the trailhead but quickly becomes a test of endurance as they push through rocky paths, beaver ponds, and an unexpected downpour before reaching Melville Shelter just before sunset.
