Well I made it through the Mahoosuc Notch and Arm with out an issue. Korky and I hiked together through the Notch which took a little more than an hour but what “fun”. It a valley of huge boulders and you can go over or under them, there is no path just get through it. I was able to get through the whole Notch without removing my pack. The Mahoosuc Arm was a 1600 climb with lots of long granite slabs (just like the one I fell on last year). The difference was today the rocks were dry and you could move up them without slipping and sliding. I finished the hike at 2:30 and got a ride from a friend of Korky’s which I met at the Hostel in Gorham. He took me to Andover where I got another ride to the Human Nature Hostel. I got dinner, a shower and clothing washed. I have a ride back to the trail at 6:30 and plan the slackpack 21 miles tomorrow, which is a huge day in this terrain. The good news is I have a bailout option at 10.3 miles if it is too bad. The weather in the afternoon is Rain....on well.
Hikers I met today: See (nb), Wing (Sb), Wam (sb), Goliath (nb), Aquaman (nb), M&M and his dog Mia (nb)and several others which I cannot remember their names
