Journal June 21, 2009 Trail Day 12




Man, today was a mud day! We could measure the distance of wading through mud and water ankle deep or greater in miles! But other than that, it was pretty flat w/ 4 miles up & over Moxie Bald. It was cold & windy on top. Still sticking w/ Birch & Pirate. We shared the lean-to with James, a homeless South Bounder & Castle, a Flip-Flopper. Going tomorrow to get mail, then 3 days after that to Stratton. We ran into a sectional hiker, named Tite Loops; who is a Charlotte, NC Fire Fighter. He gave us a tip for when we get into Gorham, NH - to slack pack a tough 21 mile section in 1 day. Take NH2 into Gorham & drop gear @ Hiker's Paradise Hostel; ride back out to NH2 & hit the 21 mile/ 6 peak section to Pinkham Notch & ride back into Gorham & get AYCE (all you can eat) Chinese Buffet for dinner. Zero the next day. Thanks Tite Loops! Met Billy Goat from ATL through hiking NoBo too! It was a good day!
