Hiker Bee Acid Tripper – AT Thru-Hike Day 80

January 12, 2014 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Unknown Shelter Finally I am back on the trail. My fingers are cold, wet, and numb, so the handwriting is bad. I just sent a couple e-mails from Bears’ blackberry. It’s cold and raining and it has been since Mountain Squid dropped us at the trailhead this morning. The northbounders had already left the […]

January 8, 2014 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: The Birdcage, Dalton, Massachussets We slack-packed today. Bears, Cold Feet, and I decided that we would hike 20 miles with daypacks back into Dalton from the south.

The Birdcage in Massachussets – AT Thru-Hike Day 75

January 6, 2014 by Mark Kelley 1 Comment

Location: The Birdcage Bears and I woke up later than I would have liked. To hike a 20 mile day, I like to finish ten miles by noon, which means I need to start hiking no later than 8:00am, so I can walk at a 2.5 mph pace. Bears and I got out of camp […]

Thru Hiker Breakfast Moldy Bagels – AT Thru-Hike Day 71

December 27, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Unknown Shelter I didn’t sleep well last night on the picnic table at the Spruce Mountain shelter. I tossed and turned and killed spiders until around 1:00 am.

Hiking Through Hot Pastures in Vermont – AT Thru-Hike Day 59

October 21, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Unknown I left the shelter late this morning because I only planned to hike 14 miles. The heat began to drain my energy as soon as I began climbing the hills in Vermont. I walked though a lot of pastureland today. The hills are still challenging, but the miles are pleasant. The heat is […]

Climbing Mount Washington in Near Zero Visibility – AT Thru-Hike Day 45

September 6, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Mizpah Hut, White Mountains   This morning came early. Last night I had difficulty falling back asleep after being woken up by some noise in the bunkroom. The snores from the bunkroom were intolerable. I rolled to cover one ear and then the other with my makeshift pillow, an inflated Ziploc freezer bag with […]

The Repercussions of Nearly Being Killed by Lightning – AT Thru-Hike Day 39

August 23, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Hiker’s Paradise Today Stick and I crossed the Maine-New Hampshire state line. I felt a full sense of accomplishment for completing the hardest state on the AT without injuring myself. I had some hard falls, but each time I fell I got back up and continued hiking, taking the blood, bruises, and close calls […]
