This is my first real day on the trail after the slackpack up and down Katahdin yesterday. Now it's 7-10 days with nothing but me and my pack.
Despite cutting a huge amount of food, I'm pretty sure I have too much. I've decided that in a few days I'll hang a really low food bag as a sort of bear piñata.
It also turns out that the word Supple is not as widely known as I'd thought, so the trail name Supple Leopard is really not working. I'll have to rethink or get a new one.
I'm sleeping in a shelter tonight with Beef Jerky and Kangapard, two older hikers who are doing a flip-flop (they hiked north from Georgia to Harpers Ferry, and are now hiking south from Katahdin). Nice pair, lots of experience and Kangapard and I bonded over our affection for Oz.
Start : Daicey Pond
End : Hurd Brook Lean-to
Distance : 11 miles (17.6 km)
