Mitch - Got your email. You lookin' for a loop or an end-to-end? How far south or north in VT? What time of year? I've hiked most of the LT and its loops except the mid-section that includes Camel's Hump and Mansfield. Most sections are about 20 miles or so long (between road crossings). Hitching back to a car in VT can be problematic. Most of the vehicles that pass you will be solo drivers in SUVs with NY plates. God forbid they should sully their gas guzzlers with a dirty hiker! There have been times when I've walked almost as far back to my car as I hiked.
For maps and updated info on the LT go to
http://www.greenmountainclub.org. Shelter locations and routes have changed over the years. If you find a section or two that look like they might interest you, let me know and I'll tell you what I can about them. There are some shelters you definitely want to avoid, some that are must-stays, and a long stretch where you can camp anywhere (LNT, of course).
The LT is billed as "A footpath through the woods". Those of us who hike it know it as a "footbath". Lots of the trail is fairly wet, all the time. You won't find as many balds and vistas as you do in NH, but there are sections that are really quite stunning in their own way.
Email me if you've got questions. Check out the Green Mountain website, first.
