All in Appalachian Trail

Monson to Caratunk: Mile 151.2

I feel a little badly about all the complaining I had been doing in the last few posts. However, I think I effectively conveyed how challenging the 100 mile wilderness was for us. With a little bit more perspective, I wanted to start this post off with some of the delightful things we encounter daily in the hikes

Seth and I were preparing for the trail for a over a year, so that leaves a lot of time for a person to obsess over every little detail. I'm the kind of person that makes myself so crazy with research that I just want to make a decision to end my anxiety.

Sort of Training

In January, the departure date started to feel fast- approaching. We figured it would be smart to do some training. The mountain ranges up north are more rigorous in elevation change than those in the south, so it's harder to just let the trail whip you into shape as a Southbound hiker.
