Day 7: 8/17/17

First and foremost, today is our 37th anniversary. Happy Anniversary, Danny. I love you and miss you. ❤ Hope you’ve had a great day!

On the trail today, it was a great day. We both felt strong and made our miles without too much discomfort. We stopped at one point while crossing a creek and took a little bath. Didn’t do a whole lot of good because we left the creek and immediately had a climb. We needed another bath with 30 minutes. One highlight today was trail magic. We got to the base of the mountain and a former hiker was there with a wonderful spread of goodies. I had a bottle of water, a granola bar and a tangerine. Yum. It was so nice.

We arrived at Minerva Hinchey Shelter where there is a mom with 3 children camping. They’re on a 3 day hike. The kids are fighting nonstop and the mom is yelling nonstop. Also, there is a group of Harvard freshman orientation camping here. It’s soooooo loud. Makes you want to pack up and keep walking. It’s good though to hear them having a good time

Most people that we’ve seen and leapfrogged with have moved ahead. We are at mile 84.1 of 273, so we have 188.9 miles left.
