August 18 - 2100 Miles Hiked

Post date: Aug 19, 2012 6:11:21 PM

The lack of cell phone service was in full play today. Just a brief static ridden call was received around 11:30a as "Five Pair" made her way to the Barren Ledges and the top of the Barren Mountain. The view "Five Pair" experienced would have been something like this:

The AT guide shows the terrain to be varied with a number of streams to cross, ledges to hike and a bog thrown in for good measure. The hike was generally up and down all day as the trail traveled over numerous small mountains (Side Note: not sure what constitutes a small mountain for someone from Florida but the term seems to work).

No service being available after the 11:30a call, landing spot for the day was a campsite just after passing the 2100 miles hiked mark with "Five Pair's" location being received via the Spot.

2101.1 miles complete/83.1 miles to go
