Day 6 April 7th

Day 6 April 7th. We took a ride with shuttle driver Jeff back to Jarrard Gap (well to the gate). We hike the 3/10th of a mile back to the trail and began the ascent of Blood Mountain.
It was a rainy climb. Allagash was less than impressed. The views would have been amazing but the clouds hung in close to the mountain ensuring we didn't get to enjoy the 360 views on top.

The shelter was incredible!
We completed the 5.2 miles which brought us to Neels Gap and a nice dry cabin to stay in.
We are at mile 31.3. Slowly but surely making our way North.

When she gets to the car she comes and picks me up. Was a pretty standard day for me hiking, it was more about seeing how my back felt hiking without weight on it.  Jen did get to see the dog Huckleberry and his human HH which was exciting for her. We both saw the memorial for the 4 year old boy who died on a mountain back in 1891, memorial is here. You can hear about this story in an episode of The Green Tunnel podcast. ...
