First night out in the wilderness
15 aprile, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
We made it 11.2 miles to crampton Gap with full packs up and down with some side sightseeing. Tons of wildflowers and despite the no rain predictions got 2 massive thunderstorms. But that brought us a rainbow. 🌈
Tent and sleeping on the ground was as hard as I thought 😉. Had a good breakfast and last trip to the moldering privy before heading out

Grateful for puffy jacket, birds waking us up and mayapplesLeggi altro

Got an earlier start refreshed from the camper “resort “ and as we start to get used to the rhythm of setting up and breaking down camp ⛺️
Thunderstorms and rain didn’t stop us sightseeing historic sights and exploring nature.
9.2 miles and arrived to the rockiest campground I’ve seen. Enjoyed some Tom yum ramen with wild mushrooms kale and sesame kelp salmon 😛

Grateful for rain poncho, bungee cord Virginia bluebellsLeggi altro

Rocky road to Raven Rock
18 aprile, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Survived the high winds and thunderstorms of this high ridge campground 😬 to wake up for a quick backtrack ☹️ to the stream for water. Lots of ups and downs and boulder hopping. It’s the mountains baby! Interspersed with farm fields.
Carpets of wildflowers showered us with rue , anemone, toothwort, trout lilies violets, star of Bethlehem and many more harbingers of spring.

Grateful for Scott’s backpack and knot tying lessons, cold mountain streamsLeggi altro

Hiking out to civilization
19 aprile, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
1% of rain doesn’t mean much in the mountains! A latish arrival the night before and rain? Mist in the night made for a gloomy start to the last leg of Maryland! With new friends we navigated the boulders and landed in the border down on the mason dixon line. A great backpackers hostel, brewpub and Walmart was a bit overwhelming after 5 days on the trail. Kicked back with clean clothes and planning our next adventure. Pennsylvania here we come!!!

Grateful for cool weather, clean clothes and Doc’s generosityLeggi altro
