My Trails

9/2/12 – 1903 miles
We made it to Maine!

After a good rest in Gorham, NH, we hit the trail this morning at 6:15. A friend of the Troverts, Susan and Kleenex’s sister Allison gave us rides to the parking lot and carted our packs .7 miles of AT road walk where we picked them up and hiked into the woods. The trail was not easy today. All in all we covered 17 miles and climbed two prominent mountains. Mt Success was particularly steep and an early rain made everything slippery. Everyone slipped at least once today but Kleenex fell on her side crossing a rock face and skinned her elbow pretty bad. X cleaned it up at the shelter the best she could but the fall will probably make Kleenex sore tomorrow.

Tonight everyone is in the shelter, Carlo Col, but me. I’m in my tent which will be warmer and safer – the Noravirus is going around and one person in the shelter is already sick.
