Day 32 post-hike! Today Kris and I were able to deliver an envelope to K9's For Warriors that was stuffed with $23,700 worth of checks. Awesome enough that we're going to be able to sponsor a K9. Get to name him/her ("Blaze" after white blazes denoting trail...good one, Kerri), follow progress through training and attend... Continue reading →

It's really nice to not have to wake up and hike 15-20 miles. The Long Trail runs from southern VT to Canada. I believe it's about 300 miles. The first 100 miles or so runs with the AT. Since I've already hiked that part, I may as well finish the Long Trail at some point...or... Continue reading →

Day 160 Pleasant River Tentsite to Mtn View Tentsite (17.2 miles) 2122.8 miles total Light rain all night. Stopped for a bit shortly after 7:30AM. Got packed up and hit the trail.

Day 159 Long Pond Stream Campsite to Pleasant River Campsite (16.0 miles) 2105.6 miles total You'd think this has got to get easier at some point in time but just keeps coming at you. Crossed 6 mountain tops today. All in the 2000' elevation but still up and down. So many mountains that they started... Continue reading →

Day 158 ME 15 to Long Pond Stream Tentsite (14.3 miles) 2089.6 miles total Happy 25th birthday, Kerri Peterson! Rained pretty good last night so trail was pretty slippery today. Makes for some slow going. Welcome to the 100 Mile Wilderness. I wonder if the sign scares anyone away. I would think most people know... Continue reading →
