Today on the Appalachian Trail.
It was our best trail in Maine. Less mud. Stairs and iron rungs and beautiful weather.
Tomorrow the rain starts at 9:00 and we hike to Bethel.
But today was glorious in the sun.
Maine is so beautiful.
We had a great day. Slackpacked to Grafton Notch from Andover to Andover and our second day at Human Nature hostel.
We’ve had some rain (over two inches the other night as we slept in a shelter) but today was beautiful and dry.
We’ve been lucky.
The Shuttle picture was supposed to have Mr President, Viking, Rocket, Rooster and Executioner in it. Hit a bump in the road and got a bad shot it seems.
Bemis Mountain Shelter to Lady Di!
We were on top of Old Blue Mountain before Andover.
The trails have a lot of vertical here.
Rangely to Sabbath Day Pond Shelter.
These entries are kind of ragged as Internet access got spread out.
Shelters also get called Lean-tos in some areas even if they are not attached to anything.
I did not update a lot through here.
But we’ve done 22 days on the trail and reached mile 256.9 going south. Doing well and averaging almost 12 trail miles a day.
Sometimes it takes a bit more walking to get the trail miles completed than just the trail distance.
