Tackled Mahoosuc Arm early in the morning. With fresh legs it was enjoyable. A few boulder obstacles. Slab rock climbs.
Once to the top, it was a small descent into Speck Pond. A challenging climbed up to Old Speck, then an easy 3.5 plummet into Grafton Notch.
We stopped at a picnic table with Tugboat and Chickadee for lunch. A weekended asked us if we would like bread and jam. We hungrily accepted and gobbled up an entire loaf of bread and jar of raspberry jam.
Back on the trail it we climbed up to Baldpate west peak. Baldpate east peak was a bit more challenging as we were walking up shear rock faces to the top. The terrain leveled out and we could see 360-degree views of what we'd already traversed, and what still lay ahead.
Finally, a steep descent into Frye Notch Lean-To for the night. We are joined by Morning Kid, Shaman, Mash, Grey Cloud, Peaches, Fire Hands and Lucy (a pup).
Enjoyed macaroni and cheese around the campfire and throwing in birch bark to really make the fire roar.
Thank you for sharing your thru-hike. I've enjoying following along and look forward to watching the next day's video while drinking my morning coffee. You two are some of the most consistence hikers I have followed...very few zero days and solid miles most days. You started a couple weeks after others I am following but now you are way ahead of them. Good job!
