Lindsey Jones, of Orange County, Va., makes her way down Route 4 in Woodstock, Vt., on August 29, 2011. Jones, who has been hiking the Appalachian Trail for two months, says she came off the trail in Killington when she got word of the storm. She estimated it would take two days to get back to the trailhead because of road closures across the Upper Valley.
