Closing the chapter on a 358-mile goal

To the Editor:
I am happy to report that we completed our last 13.5 miles yesterday and now close the chapter on this 3.5 year effort to achieve the 358-mile goal plus 150 extra mile add-ons. [“Healthy, free, the world expands for five women walking the Long Path,” The Altamont Enterprise, April 15, 2024].

We did section 19 of the Long Path from Woodland Valley Campground near Phoenicia. The official trail that we needed to complete was about 10 miles.

However, we needed to take a two-mile feeder trail to get to the trail — that was all uphill and on the end we came down a 1.5-trail and walked into the town of Phoenicia where Tess’s red Jeep awaited us.

We celebrated by eating a hearty dinner in Phoenicia.
