This post is from July 26, 2015. The GPS tracking of this hike can be found at:
I left my home in Maine at 5am and started hiking by
9:45, having dropped my motorcycle off at the end-of-day trailhead near Danby.
After just 3 miles of easy ascent I passed over the
summit of Bromley Mountain Ski Area:
The rest of the day was moderate conditions with some ups
and downs and occasional bad footing but all in all a fairly easy 17 mile day.
As always, it was nice to see my faithful steed waiting
for me at the end of the day:
I met an older gentleman thru-hiker (i.e., someone my
age) on top of Bromley. His trailname is
'SHORT BUS'. He is a retired teacher. A
retired Special Needs teacher...
I also met a blast-from-the-past young thru-hiker who I
think I last me in Tennessee or North Carolina. He is from Lowell, MA and his
trailname is 'LUCKY STRIKE'. I think I
mentioned him in an earlier blog. He
passed me from behind and recognized me without me turning around. I thought that was uncanny. I must have a
unique gait.
