Day #20 (48 total) – 500 miles!

/ brookscb

Wildcat and I hiked out of Goose Pond this morning after an awesome pancake breakfast.  We’ve hiked to the next major road crossing and I have now logged 500 miles on the A.T. this summer. Yippee!!!!!

Here I am celebrating at the road crossing.  Spiced rum hits the spot after hiking all morning.  (It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.)

  
We’ll be hiking some bonus miles today and tomorrow.  And there’s one more night on the trail.  That will be my last chance to converse with fellow hikers before I head off the trail in Great Barrington.

Hike Statistics:
Miles from Hanover, NH – 200+
Total miles on the A.T. – 500 +

  5. Great job, Chris and congratulations on your accomplishment! It has been a joy to follow your adventure through this blog. I’m hoping for a full summary of your feelings and takeaways from the trip when you have time to write it.

    Oh, and a final weight please. Before or after the pancakes and rum — your choice.
