We were greeted with extreme hospitality in the wonderful trail towns of Norwich, VT/Hanover, NH. We met and played croquet with the Ice Cream Man in Southern NH, began climbing real mountains with views, and trucked through the mud in the vast green and brown tunnel. We traveled together with great friends who we met along the way and with friends who came to visit from home. We made it through the Mahoosuc Notch, which AWOL claims is “the most challenging or most fun mile of the entire AT”. Really, just making it through Southern Maine entirely was a great accomplishment in our eyes.
