On the trail again



Good bye- last sunset cruise of summer on 3 Mile Pond

Judd left yesterday for Gorham, NH with Steve B. and Mike B. (trail names yet to be determined.) No pictures or blog posts yet--they must be having too much fun together.
The plan is to hike together a couple days and then put Steve and Mike in their car back to Maine while Father Goose proceeds SoBo. (South Bound to Vermont.) You'll see Gorham at mile 319.4 (about a third of the way up the bottom of the page. If Judd gets to Vermont mid-September and it's not snowing yet, he plans on taking a shuttle back to Gorham, NH for a resupply then hike north to Rangeley and Stratton to fill in his section gap from this summer. He was wearing street clothes when they left for the 3+ hour car trip but Judd has assured e he packed his very yellow shirt so we can spot him in subsequent pics. He has also packed, immodium, recently becoming a believer during a bout of unruly, unbecoming and unnecessary summer gastroenteritis. Departures and becoming less monumental--no weighing of the pack--no selfies--no detailed instruction manual on how to access the on-line accounts.  But Judd's parting gift to me is AWESOME!!!  (see below!)
