Story spring shelter

It's a crowded spot tonight. Flora and I, Charlie, Wolverine, about four nobos, a Canadian long trail couple, some random guy, and Skittles the Great just showed up with a friend from home. We saw Skittles on top of Stratton Mountain earlier today and he was previously with his guy friend and also a girl and a Weimaraner. They left the girl and dog at a campsite a few miles back, jerks. She couldn't keep up with them.  
Anyway we didn't hit the trail til 10 am today and still did 21 miles including Stratton. Vermont is rather easy hiking still. I have climbed all of the fire towers on top of the mountains and today's was certainly the sketchiest one yet. Lots of creaking noise, strong winds, rustiness, like I thought my weight would throw the thing off balance, but I made it up alright :) and down alright too. From the top I could see Killington, among other mountains.
