The Trovert&#8217;s friend Sue is a real angel taking us to the trail each morning and picking us up each afternoon. Not only does she shuttle us to and from the trail, she drives us to restaurants and grocery stores. It sure makes the planning a lot easier. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9\/5\/12 &#8211; 1927 miles We are still slack packing the AT over the mountains near Andover, ME.
