Today's Hike: Southarm to Bemis Stream Trail - 6.0 miles
This morning we were packed and ready to go by 8am and went with the girls (Nitmeg and Billy Hoot), Ink, Blacklist, and Whispy into Andover (for the 4th day in a row) to eat breakfast at the general store. Breakfast was incredible, but it literally took half the day to get there, eat, and get back to the trail. When we arrived back to the trailhead around noon, we were greeted with trail magic from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the local trail maintainer and former thru-hiker. So at noon, all of us were pounding back the beers and snickers bars that he left for us.Somewhere around 1pm Grom and I started hiking up Ol' Blue Mtn., and reached the summit within an hour. There we re-met Nick and Blue who were doing a flip-flop hike (GA to Harpers Ferry then Katadhin to Harpers Ferry). We ate lunch with him and chilled for about an hour before making our way down the mountain.
We hiked until nightfall, and found a sweet stealth site near the Bemis trailhead. Grom made a small fire and we ate the rest of what was in our food bags. I think I ate to much....feelin' kinda sick. Oppss....guess my eyes were bigger then my stomach.
