 | Comments: |
Despite not being able to see a thing(!), it was a nice hike. That stretch of the AT is really nice, and despite the constant shroud of clouds and fog it still offered some nice scenery. Ran into a handful of thru-hikers; ate lunch with them at the Spaulding lean-to. Very interesting bunch. I wish them the best!
If you're out bagging peaks, this 18 mile out and back, with 6,545' vert if my math is right, is quite the day! Hope you have better views than I did. I will be back. |
