Today's lesson is never trust a wood bridge over a bog.
Still some snow trapped in the valley of Mahoosucks Notch
Miles Today: 13.1
Mile Marker: 1,917.4
I remember when I started telling people about my plans for this adventure. Almost everyone said “You're going to do what now?” Each time I would calmly explain I was going to walk from Georgia to Maine while internally evaluating my sanity every time I said it. Well the day has come. I've officially walked FROM GEORGIA TO MAINE!!! Still 272.4 miles of hard work left, but I'll get there.
I made it through Mahoosuc Notch today. I heard from the SlOwBOs it should take about three hours, but all of my NOBO people said it took them two. It took me an hour and a half. Not because I'm a faster hiker or anything; I didn't want to get rained on while going through that nonsense. I didn't take any breaks and focused on moving as fast as safely possible. I still got rained on the last half hour, but thankfully I was through the roughest stuff. It was almost all rock climbing with large, sketchy gaps below. Definitely wore me out today.
