Helen and I did the motorcycle/truck self shuttle thing between Crawford notch and Zealand Trail. After leaving the bike at the trailhead for Zealand trail, we hiked 2.5 NON AT miles to rejoin the AT where I left it last Wednesday night. The photo below is a shot of Helen at this spot:
The actual AT miles today were only 7+, but it was a good little section to do with Helen, especially as it had the 2.5 mile pigtail of Zealand Falls that had to be done just to get back onto the AT. The shot below is of Paul at a very visually dramatic section of the hike where the old railroad bed that is the AT here cuts across a tremendous slide plummeting a deep valley:
After leaving that valley, the Wilderness Trail, that Ray, I and Peter have all trail run at different times vectors off to the south heading towards Lincoln Woods about 14 miles distant. In only .1 miles from the intersection of the Ethan Pond Trail (the AT) and the Wilderness trail lies the beautiful Thoreau Falls. So, we decided to walk over there and take a breath:
The shot below is of the end of this day. I will resume the ascent and traverse of Mt. Washington here as soon as the danger of thunderstorms subsides. Note the remaining distance to Katahdin - 332 miles. Getting there!
