After dropping a car off at Route 4 crossing in Rangeley we drove to East B Hill Road to start our AT section hike. Up and over Wyman in hot and sticky weather was okay but it is steep down to Sawyer Notch and then silly steep up Moody Mountain (high point appears to be just off the trail), that is a rugged 10 mile section. Slept well at Black Brook campsite. Thru-hikers, Malibu, Choogle, Treeboy, Sweetness, they had a nice fire and we learned a new dice game Cee-lo, tootsie rolls were the currency. Laura and I took a dip in the brook at the crossing. Laura came out with a large leach and too many baby leaches on one of her ankles, eeek. |
