3/30

Not my favorite day on trail

Woke up early to try and get the day started. My stomach was still pretty upset from the day prior. But I wanted to get closer to town so I started walking despite it. 

After climbing up Mt Albert we were greeted with the best views I've seen on trail so far. 

We also officially hit 100 miles on the AT

About 7 miles into the day, we stopped at a shelter around noon and I was really not feeling well at all. I tried to lay down but my stomach was not having it. Decided that I needed to get off trail, so I hiked to the nearest Gap and called for a shuttle into town. 

I ended up calling Sherpa Al and got a ride into Franklin. Unfortunately I had to let Jules keep on hiking as he has a time deadline to reach Katahdin. Hoping I can catch up to him at some point. 

Got a motel room and am going to try and reset my stomach. Might have to stay another night tomorrow as well if my stomach doesn't get any better. 

In town I walked around a little bit, got a burger and fries. Also got some kombucha, pretzels and some vegetables. Very hiker friendly town


Hoping to be back on trail for Saturday morning. Not super happy with this little detour especially with the cost of staying in the motel for 2 nights but it's better for my health in the long run.

But now my lock screen has a great background, no filter needed 

See ya lovelies 👋

Travel day Drive down to the airport with Mom, Dad and Shannon, jealous that they were getting donuts and hanging with Miguel after.  Plane got delayed for some reason beyond my comprehension, gave me plenty of time to charge my devices and watch one of the best movies of all time  Sat across the aisle from a really cute baby, not as cute as Miguel obviously Had myself a Pepsi (JetBlue doesn't do coke apparently ...) And bacardi, and slept as well as the baby next to me.  Amanda from the Grateful hiker picked me up where she drove me and a Canadian to the start of the AT. We listened to a quick 10 minute leave no trace talk, officially registered and learned how to properly throw our bear bag.  Spent the rest of the night chatting around the campfire with "Karma" somebody who has hiked  the AT 4 times before. Got some great advice, are some ramen, brushed my teeth and settled in for the night.  Cheers to the r...

Probably the best day on trail Woke up at 3:30 this morning to catch the sunrise on McAfee Knob and it did not disappoint, definitely my favorite view and sunrise of the trail Had some more miles to get into town, had a killer pulled pork salad. Last resupply on trail. Ran into some day hikers, one of them had a son who hiked the trail so she gave me an oatmeal cookie, didn't remember to take a picture till the last bite.  To top it all off, when we left town, we also hit 1/3rd of the way to Katahdin,  Had no idea that I would be able to make it this far, but definitely surprised and happy that I did Until tomorrow 🤙  See ya lovelies
