    03 May 2010, Overmountain Shelter
    We woke up this morning to rain. The weather forecast was finally correct. We made the right decision to duck into the hostel.

    We ate breakfast and packed and were ready to leave before 10 am. We were at the mercy of CC for a ride back to the trail. She was still busy doing breakfast and squaring up peoples bills until noon. We were not able to get back to the trail head until 1 pm.

    When we got dropped back off this ...

    If that is true it looks as if I will continue my lonely hike. I keep hoping for some company. The last GA-ME hiker I ran into was Molasses just north of Hot Springs.

    02 May 2010, Hughs Gap
    We got dropped off at Iron Mountain Gap this morning. My pack felt very heavy this morning. As I was walking I was trying to think why it would feel so heavy. After some time of thinking I realized I never went through my food bag before I left and I have way too much food for three days of hiking. When I arrived at the Greasy Creek Friendly trail the rest of the group was there. I would like to think that they were waiting for me but Popcorn was there and they were ...

  4. Looking for Trek

    I'm in Glencliff, New Hampshire spending the night at The Hikers Welcome Hostel. I have not encountered any NoBo thru-hikers since North Carolina. People keep asking me about Trek. I have no info. to give them. If anybody knows of his location please let me know so I can pass it along to all of his faithful fans.

    Lots of mud and standing water on the trail up here.
    Snow levels are around 3,000 feet or so, but melting fast!! Heading up Moosilauke tomorrow. Temps were in the 80's ...

    01 May 2010, Uncle Johnny's
    We caught shuttled to Iron Mountain Gap and started at 7:45 this morning. There were seven of us that did this shuttle. Legends of the Fall made it back to Uncle Johnny's in four hours covering 20 miles. Krispy Kritter, Limestone, Bismarck and I hiked together all day and made it back at 3:30. I ran into Cedar Tree while heading south today. I told him about my Packa leaking and he said he would hook me up and help me at Trail Days. He told me that he was no ...
