Moose Cave and Mother Walker's Falls
"Beans, again!"
Woke to an absolutely
gorgeous day
and 57 degrees.
Going to explore
a little more of
Grafton Notch
before
moving on.
Unseasonal warmth for
early October
here!
White Blaze App
says it is
even
60 degrees today
on Mount Katahdin.
Hope our luck holds!

But x marks our spot
and we have miles to go
so we must
hike on.
Heading up Old Blue Mountain
today.
The range encompasses
Old Blue
Elephant Mountain
And Bernis Mountain
In a local's words
"It's quite a hike."
We pass along the way
The Frye Notch Lean-To
The Hall Mountain Lean-To
Until at last we reach to top of Bemis Mountain
and the Bemis Mountain Lean-To
Where we are going to take a breather
and a snack
before moving on.
Peanut Butter Granola Bar and Chocolate Chips and a quick rest (...nothing like a little dark chocolate to set you right...) and we are back on our way.
Trying for Saddleback Mountain today.

And Sabbath Pond Shelter where we will be spending tonight.
Pondside at Sabbath
We have made some miles, and are now 1959 miles in on the AT...only 231 miles left to go.
Working on a fire...and maybe some one pot
Mac and cheese with bacon (jerky) for supper.
See you tomorrow!
Love,
"Beans"
