South Arm Road to East B Hill Road, southbound
10.1 Miles
We are slackpacking southbound today
because it was recommended by David at the hostel to get the two ascents of
Moody Mountain Wyman Mountain out of the way in the morning. Then the
afternoon, would be pretty much all downhill.
Good call. It was two pretty
steep inclines om the morning and easy going in the afternoon.
Again, we leap-frogged with Daisy
and Blue Feather all day and took breaks together, but otherwise we hiked our
own hike. We saw lots to moose dung on
the trail today.
It started raining a little in
the afternoon but we only got slightly wet.
Wait-up and I came out of the
trail to the roadside 30 minutes earlier than expected to see a white van with
a pop-up tent and a group of people gathered around. Trail magic!!
Fresh Ground was his name and he is well-known up and down the trail,
mostly following the “bubble.” We had send
him yesterday morning at Grafton Notch serving pancakes and here he was at this
trailhead serving spaghetti and lots of other snacks. (Even gluten-free noodles
for Wait-up!) Daisy and Blue Feather
came out shortly and also got in on the magic.
We had just enough time to down a big portion of spaghetti and enjoy
some sweet snacks before our shuttle driver came.
We still had to go across to
Mills Market to pay our bill from breakfast since we had left our money at the
hostel this morning. But at least we
didn’t have to buy dinner tonight.
