Day 37 - A SOBO Sighting! (7/8/2016)

I'd noticed that it had been a while since I'd seen any of my SOBO buddies. Trout, Timber, Legs, Eskimo, Littlefoot, Wahoo, Pancakes, Silky Bear, Beef Jerky, Kangapard all seemed to be either ahead of or behind me, and not leaving any signs of themselves. To be honest, while I do enjoy solo travel, I was starting to miss familiar faces.

Today I crossed Franconia Ridge. You can find a vlog about it here (look for the video taken on August 7th), so I won't reiterate.

When I got to Liberty Springs tentsite (failing to find a good stealth site on the way), I stumbled across Beef Jerky! A familiar face! He didn't know where Kangapard was anymore, but it was nice to catch up. We hadn't crossed paths in weeks (last seen in Monson).

Tomorrow I head in to Lincoln for a quick resupply then back on the trail, I think.

Oh, and when I woke up this morning I discovered that I had also left my water bottle at the last hut, so I did in fact go back for it and my map.

Start: .5 miles from Galehead hut
End: Liberty Spring tentsite
Distance: 9.8 miles
