Mile 1701.9
14.1 miles of hiking today to arrive at this funky, beat-up, old shelter. Apparently it gets a lot of vandalism due to easy access from the ski lift 🤔

Today was another day or taking it slow and trying to be intentional with almost every step. My ankle doesn’t feel better but it also doesn’t feel worse. I might step down the mileage goals again tomorrow depending on how I feel in the morning. Also considering a day of rest if necessary- we’ll see.

I loved hiking along the streams all day through the coniferous forests. It reminded me of the Smokys a lot. I took a long, long break at the Stone’s Throw Farmstand in Shrewsbury VT to enjoy lunchtime snacks and cold local beverages (including maple syrup soda!!). I could have stayed all day, loved the vibe there. Today I hit mile 1700 and also the marker/indicator for 500 miles away from Mt Katahdin. 🥳 amazing!Read more
Traveler These folks have been hiking the AT in sections for almost 20 years… And they only have 500 miles to go! Henry the dog enjoys hiking but has only been accompanying for the last 4 years

🌜Camping at Minerva Hinchey Shelter
June 11 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
Mile 1687.8

There is a new shelter here but I arrived kind of late (8:30pm) and didn’t want to disturb people who were already asleep. Apparently the old shelter was pretty rough- I see notes in the map indicating a porcupine was eating the wooden structure😂, among other shortcomings.

Long slow day of hiking with foot/ankle pain, trying to keep it slow and steady after all the mayhem in the mud over the last couple days. This pace afforded me lots of time for photos and I took a nice long lunch at a beautiful pond teeming with salamanders (they were fun to watch).

My pals hiked ahead and have a lead of about 10 miles at this point. I wish I could keep pace but realized that I just needed to take care of myself as a priority.

In my last half hour of hiking I encountered 3 black bears on trail- 2 cubs and mother… I made loud sounds the cubs quickly ran up a tree- mother retreated into the woods making a huffing sound but remained watchful 😬. Eventually the cubs scrambled down and disappeared into the woods and she thankfully followed them. Quite amazing to watch from a distance but I kept and eye on trail behind me all they way to the shelter just in case- they were gone.

13.2 miles of hiking in beautiful weather, finally!Read more

Bears!! Mamma and cubs!
June 11 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
I encountered 3 bears on trail today at dusk. Mother bear and two cubs. I made loud sounds and they got scared. It’s amazing how quickly they can climb up a tree- which is what both cubs did at first. Then all three scurried off into the forest. 😮‍💨Read more

Life is full of obstacles. If we can view living as an obstacle course it will surely focus our attention on creative solutions: how can we get up/around/over/through to our goals?

Soooo many salamanders!
June 11 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Without trying to look to hard I could see several dozen salamanders in the pond during lunch. They were fun to watch!
Traveler Can’t see them but I love the ripple pattern they made!

I stopped here for lunch and it was quite beautiful! There were many salamanders in the water too, which was fun to discover/watch!

🌮 Taco Tuesday
June 10 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
It’s Taco Tuesday and I’m a lucky guy! I have an avocado and some hummus… these are luxury on trail because they are heavy and/or fragile. I forgot to eat them yesterday (maybe because of the rain?). So this is a respectable offering, tofu “turkey” slices, avocado, lemon dill hummus, salt&pepper. Score: 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 5/5. I’d eat this at home. 😉Read more

🌜 Lost Pond Shelter
June 10 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
Mile 1672.9

Long day of hiking, my foot/ankle feels not-so-great after days of tricky rock hopping and several dramatic falls today😭 The wooden bog bridges are super slippery and everywhere in this section- 2 forward falls on these (hopefully my wrist doesn’t get sprained again) with countless close calls. I also took 2 “death drops” in the mud, landing on my back. Oh boy. Those were not painful but super annoying and definitely humbling. I had to rinse off in the stream somewhat blindly and ultimately arrived at the shelter wet and still a little muddy. I was able to squeeze in and sleep in a dry space without setting up a tent which I was grateful for.

14.8 miles of slip and slide style hiking in the mud and rain.Read more
TravelerBeginning to be scary.
