I had 3 days off of work this week and decided to continue on the IAT. I started in Monticello and hiked north east to the Montrose DCA. I had the trail to myself except for a couple of bikers north of the Stewart tunnel...which is pretty cool. If you get the chance, check it out! The Montrose DCA also has a trail register. I was warm in my hammock even though it got down to around 32F.
The trails to Verona were beautiful and well maintained. There were areas that had been recently control burned. I ended up hiking part way into the night. Strong rain/storms were on the way and I didn't want to get pummeled at the DCA (which was very nice) at the top of a hill over looking Verona.
I made it to Cross Plains (in the rain) around 9pm. After the golf course its mostly road walking.
If there are any IATA volunteers on here thank you for your hard work on the trail!!
