I spent the night at Mountain Harbor before shuttling to Carver Gap in the morning to start an overnight NOBO hike with Millie.

Millie did a great job hiking. We hiked 8 miles including a grueling climb up and over Little Hump Mountain to finish the day. Met lots of thru-hikers and enjoyed Mountain Harbor.

What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn’t come every day.
