Okay tough guys. Come climb with me!!
Had a good day of hiking from Mountain Harbour. The trails seem to be getting. Better for hiking.
Today I saw my first stream/river not associated with coming into a town, or crossing a highway. It was beautiful. It looked like a perfect fly fishing stream. I wanted to go fishing. Of course, no fishing equipment, no license, and I have to keep hiking.
ACCOMPLISHMENT: MILE 400. That doesn't sound like a lot when you compare it to 2,168 miles, the trail length. But, when you consider that Layton to Boise, ID is 300 miles, then it sounds more significant. If someone asked you if you could walk to Boise you might say you think so, but if they asked you if you would like to walk to Boise, you would say of course not. There you go, Most people would say you are crazy to hike the AT.
I started in March 11th. Today it is April 8th. That is 29 days. Call it 4 weeks, 28 days. I have taken 4 zero days, or 1 a week. That pretty much means 100 miles a week, or 6 days. I think that is a pretty good rate.
The trails were good today. Much better than yesterday. No Mount Dume as one hiker described Hump Mountain. It was very comfortable to do 12 miles today. Much easier than yesterday's 10 miles.
Because it is forecasted to snow tonight I stayed at the Vango Abey Hostel. It was only $20. The heater didn't even start to warm up the room. It was a chilly night. The bed was nice though. Scotty the owner was nice. I enjoyed visiting with him.
Another n"Lions, Witch, & Wardrobe". This bench was right in the trail. It is in memory of Vango who was a trail angel who died 5 years ago.
View from bench.
Great beaver pond.
