Stats:
Day 1: 46 miles, 2,128ft elevation gain
Day 2: 50 miles, 3,400ft (plus 3 miles to groceries)
Day 3: 48 miles, 1,580ft

Even with all of the obsessive route planning ahead of time I didn't consider road construction or closures, and the first day had both with a big dirt road climb and some sketchy Class VI back country walking/biking to get past a road closure to the camping area.

I went on my first bike packing trip this week. Three days of following the Connecticut river from Hanover NH/Norwich VT to nearly the top of the Vermont/New Hampshire border. Two great days of weather and one rainy one. Beautiful country.

This was discovered while reading about Hall's Stream or Rivière Hall, which is a 25.2 mile river that forms much of the New Hampshire and Canadian border, with all of the undulations and squiggles one might imagine (zoom in!). After all of that important work being a border it unceremoniously enters Vermont as a plain old river only to dump into the Connecticut river.
Which brings us to the shape of upper Vermont. They could have stopped at Hall’s river and edge of Canada, but instead continued along the west side of the Connecticut until that crossed the latitude of lower Canada/upper Vermont.

Making a route in Ride with GPS and noticed it passes Terrible Mountain in Vermont, elevation 2,882ft. Wikipedia says this is probably what settlers named it due to terrain. There is the remains of a crashed airplane on top from 1968.

Action alert. Boosts appreciated 🙂

So #ICE chose today, #NoKings day, with all eyes on the #fascism, to violently arrest longtime #Vermont migrant community organizer Nacho De La Cruz and his just graduated from high school step daughter after a bullshit traffic stop.

His organization, Migrant Justice, is circulating a petition. Please sign if you can.

..and if you’re in #VT sign up for Migrant Justice alerts and show up to defend our neighbors!

migrantjustice.net/get-involve

actionnetwork.orgFree Nacho! Free Heidy! Not one more deportation! Two Migrant Justice leaders were detained by Border Patrol agents in Vermont on June 14th; they are at imminent risk of deportation. Nacho was driving with his stepdaughter Heidy in Franklin County when they were pulled over. Agents smashed their car window and violently detained the two community leaders. Read more about the case and send a message to ICE demanding their release!

One of these days, I'll get around to formally pointing out that the Euro symbol really is actually engraved at E04 on (according to Currys) most U.K. keyboards, like you used to have it in the U.K. keyboard layout back in 2014.

Yes, a few keyboards have it engraved at D03. Microsoft's U.K. (normal+extended) layout for Windows makes it Level 3 shift + E04, however, as engraved on the majority.

More photos from yesterday. Sunday I started putting “bags" on the bike, to see what kind of rig I could make for bike packing. Surprised the little frame bag I sewed was just the right size for tent poles and stakes. Panniers from 80’s aren't waterproof, but held tent/fly which don't need that? Sleeping system in wp case on rack. Front bag for food and clothes, top frame bag snacks. It was pretty heavy, especially going up hills, but also nicely balanced.
