 | Comments: |
Walked into Hanover on the AT from the 3 Mile Rd trailhead, ate and hung out around Dartmouth for a bit, and then took an Uber back to where I had parked. This is the way to do trail tracing :)
The trail itself was very wet and muddy in spots, as expected. I wore trail runners and brought an extra pair of socks and was OK, but waterproof boots would be another good option.
