16.0 miles, 1753.2 total.
it was difficult to leave town this morning. they have a great coffee shop with amazing coffee and pastries. finally left town at 10:00.
it wasn't raining and the sun was actually out every now and then. the trail was sloppy sloppy sloppy, but at least it didn't rain today.
had a couple of big climbs. one from 880 to 2290 and one from 950 to 2100. they were both pretty steep and rough with a pack full of food.
next few days will be similar as I move toward the white mountains. it will get tougher and slower going but be more scenic. can't believe it - only 425 miles to go, and these miles will probably be the best and hardest.
here with tonto, two NOBO sectioners from NH, and a group of sophomores from dartmouth who are on an official school outing.
later,
