Day 2 of 3, a bit of redline backpacking. Descending the steeps on Beaver Brook first thing in the morning was a bit rough! Climbing up the other side after hitting the road was as well! Kinsman Ridge is pretty rough in spots, but has great rock staircases in others. Hit the highpoint of Wolf via a fairly well worn herd path, and signed into the jar, last entry was 9/4. The outlook was decent, but growing in. Ran into a NOBO thru-hiker Chayah near Reel Brook and hiked with her to Eliza Brook, my stop for the night. Stayed there with a group of five NOBO's, Sticks, Soul Money, Pocket Fire, Sweet Tea, and Wild Child. |
