13.7 MM. Round Top Mountain holds sentinel over West Carry Pond. This was a spectacular autumn day. We ate lunch here while enjoying this vista from the lakeshore.

17.2 MM. This is the AT crossing of Long Falls Dam Road. What makes this road crossing so special is that if you are hiking the Appalachian Trail northbound from Georgia, you have reached the 2,000 mile marker which is painted on the pavement in the middle of the road. Since this photo was taken, the town painted yellow stripes down the middle of the road, so the mileage marker now straddles the double solid line. (Update (2012). The true 2000 mile mark is now several miles further south and this marking on the road may no longer be there.
