my dear hammy has so kindly posted ALL (or almost all…) of our pictures on his flickr site and since the link to said site is buried deep in this here blog, i thought i’d put it up here fresh in case anyone is still stopping by.

the next day we got an early start on another landmark day — 5 months on the trail!! we couldn’t believe it. we were warned by another hiker, southbound, that the upcoming climb was nasty, and the mud we would encounter afterwards would be up to our thighs. riiiiiiiight…
onward into the wilderness…

we got a slower start after that rainy night – everything was so cold and damp, making it very difficult to get motivated and moving. but as i said, things soon cleared up.

Rumor has it that we arrived in Maine recently, though I’m not so sure. I mean, the sign said we’re there but with the rain/fog/clouds lately, we haven’t been able to see anything. Tonight we’re staying at Pine Ellis (a “B&B”) in Andover, ME and we couldn’t be happier to be indoors and dry.
Finally, miles again!

Well, it has taken a while but we’re finally moving again. After starting the meds for lyme, we’ve knocked out a 17 and a 20 back to back in New Hampshire, which isn’t too bad. We’re staying the night at the Hikers Welcome Hostel in Glencliff, NH and out back there appears to be one [...]
