Great day for my NE67 finish! The trail for the most part was bone dry, the views were to die for, and the weather was great! Complete opposite of my failed attempt of No. Brother a month ago. Had two of my best hiking buddies join me, and after the hike, we camped overnight just outside Millinocket. Swimming, guitar playing, roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, Frisbee, campfire, campfire stories- it was an absolutely epic and exciting way to end the quest.
Thanks to Chad P. and Riley P. for making my NE67 finish incredible! |
