2023 on the AT

NEW HAMPSHIRE

Well, we have arrived ready to hit the streets....or Mountains.....running...or maybe walking!

Climbs prior to the Whites, which we have only heard to be VERY tough, are not bad at all but without trail legs it was still a chore. First mountain we climbed this year is Moose Mountain. That fog and mist in the background.......will become very common this year!

And MacGyver points to the direction of the North Peak of Moose Mtn. 

Not exactly sure what this AT signs is really telling us?

My pack looks to be 100 LB's! Good thing it is a flat and smooth trail right now.... but that certainly won't last!

Second night out at John Trapper Shelter. A rare flat spacious spot for tents!

Full House at Hexabaca Shelter (mile 1783)! Met some very friendly NOBO's that have been on trail 4 months and that we would see again until the end our 2023 hike. "Frizzle", "Cup of Tea", "Deceiver", "Lucky Penny", "Stinger", "Prickly Berry", "Captain Chaos".....and MacGyver is feeling right at home in the middle of  this crowded shelter!...I was the only one that stayed in a tent....and it rained :(
