Another good slack, over 17 miles of the Bigelow range and 6000 vertical feet of elevation gain. 7am departure in back of pickup, hiking at 7:45. Cool, clear and breezy, with wonderful views. Took all day, but a most pleasant one with such a light pack, and back at hostel by 6:30pm
Encountered again Double dog and Dareya, two hikers and dog I shared a shelter with in the rain in VT. Note the shovel handle with the carved Mark Twain's face- - the glasses were lost a while back. Their second dog had to leave the trail back in VA.
Since I was walking south back toward Stratton, met lots of north bounders on the way.
Did cloud up later, and rain showers are possible tomorrow, then turning quite cold, lows in the 20's at night. To get out of the freeze and the damp, I plan to stay at Harrison's camp for bed, shower and famous pancake breakfast.
