Tonight is our last night in Maine... Tomorrow we cross into New Hampshire. It is a lovely night after a hard day. I am at a shelter with Flora, walker, Brookie, and Chip- our trail family:)
Today we did the Mahoosuc Notch, a mile- long stretch of bouldering between two mountains. It was pretty fun. I got ALL scratched up and also very dirty today but what else is new?
I am dealing with some extra pack weight because I have winter gear in preparation for the White Mtns now, and also I overdid a mail drop and am carrying too much food. The weight in conjunction with the UBER rough terrain has thrown my balance and caused a couple of hilarious falls. One was where I was stepping down a giant rock and slipped on a root or something and landed backwards with my pack wedged into some rocks. I flailed around like an overturned beetle for a minute helplessly until Brookie yanked me up by an arm, kindly refraining from laughing until after the ordeal was over.
