Start: Norwich, VT
Finish: Etna, NH
Today: 7.4 mi (includes 1.5 A.T. mi from yesterday)
Total: 468.0 mi
The plan for today was to test my ankle without a pack. Heather carried the water and rain jackets while I just held my hiking poles and we would hitch back to the hotel in Hanover.
It felt incredible to be back on the trail, breathing fresh air and working my body. My ankle did fine, even up and down the bigger peaks.
Near the end of the hike, for the second time this trip, Heather thought she saw a bear turning a corner and charging her. Turned out it was a very excited chocolate lab and it's really nice owner, Ann. We spoke with Ann about our trip and about her life for a while. When she found out we were headed back to Hanover she offered us a ride!
