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 rest of the jour
Sometimes the views just aren't there I did not climb up to the top of Dragons Tooth today, too wet and rainy for me, plus the fog didn't give a view. Also hit 700 miles today! Ended the day with some incredible trail magic Sunrise tomorrow at McAfee 👀
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
