  1. Day 67: Race to Woods Hole Hostel

    Today it’s suppose to rain all day, but thunderstorms could roll in this afternoon so I don’t want to dilly dally. We have 15 miles and a good climb today. Breakfast isn’t served until 8am and after last nights amazing dinner I’m not skipping out on that. Got on trail at 9am with just a light drizzle that lasted most of the morning. Twinkle Toes, who I am hiking with today, said a thunderstorm was headed our way and to get moving. He was successful in freaking me out, but it just rained a little ...

  2. Day 66: 600 miles!

    Woke up rested and ready to get to Weary Feet Hostel. The description said food focused, so I was all in. We have 16 miles of pretty easy terrain. After 6 miles we hit the 600 mile mark!! It’s exciting how the 100 mile markers are coming more frequently. My legs started to feel it about mile 14 or 15, but thankfully we didn’t have much farther at that point. But at the very end I was disappointed when Guthooks (the hiking app that marks the trail) was wrong and we had to hike and extra .5 miles ...

  3. Day 65: Good, but late start to the day

    Woke up and got ready to head out this morning. The plan is to do 18 miles today, but I’m not sure when we’re getting back to the trail. The hostel owner decided to take the group to Maggie’s Place for breakfast. I’ve heard great things about their food, so I decided to jump on board. Literally. It was a great breakfast. Well worth the late start. It’s 10am already and still not on trail, but oh well. Finally, made it back on trail just after 11am. I got a little frustrated. We would be ready to ...

  4. Day 64: Ready for a hostel stay

    Today we have 12 miles to Mountain Garden Hostel and I am ready for a hostel. I’m hot and smelly. We have a good climb up to Chestnut Knob Shelter the it’s rolling the rest of the way. That was one tough climb. Today I still feel like I don’t have that push to get me uphill, so I’m taking lots of breaks. But hey I’m still moving. I’m glad I’m doing this climb at the being of the day and not the end. Had some great views from the top. From the shelter we have 6 miles to the road, it wasn’t too bad, ...

  5. Day 63: Uneventful Day

    Today we have 12 miles to the next shelter. We’ll see what time we get there and whether we want to push further or stop. Today was a pretty uneventful day. I don’t know if it’s the heat and I’m not drinking enough water, but I just don’t feel like I have that extra push and I’m definitely feeling it on the uphills. Made it to the shelter before 3 pm, so we decided to push another 4 miles to Lick Creek Campsite. Nice spot right by the creek.
