At the top of Mt. Moosilauke Saturday

Not a bad week…except for leaving Mary again. And, the persistent foot problem came back. Hopefully it is fixed now, at least enough to get me through the rest of my hike. The new boots are GREAT, one problem resolved. I am so glad Mary found them! I'm at my last stop before the Whites.

Visit with Mary, 500 Miles, and a Naked Hiker

It’s been another good two weeks, ending with a great but way too short visit with Mary, aka Mrs. Nailgun. I tried out different boots, had a few visits with Moondog, and saw more beautiful scenery. I continue to average about 96 miles a week, even with stopping for a day here and there, and hiking shorter days.

It’s been a good stretch, started out not feeling quite right but pushed through and am doing much better now. Out of the rocks in PA, but then into the straight up-and-down hills in New York. Ended on a great note with a Moondog visit in Massachusetts.
