Rainy Day Zero in the Shelter – AT Thru-Hike Day 82

January 16, 2014 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Unknown Shelter North of Connecticut Mass Line An unplanned zero. Today was the nastiest day I’ve seen on the trail in a long while. It rained constantly all day. The temperature was cold, probably in the 40’s. A fine mist lingered between the pines and convinced me to stay in my sleeping bag at […]

Hiking with a Stoner No Problem aka Hiker Bee – AT Thru-Hike Day 81

January 14, 2014 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Unknown Shelter I left the lean-to before Hiker Bee and Bears this morning. It rained most of the night, so my clothes and boots didn’t dry. The temperature was in the 50’s this morning, so when I put on my wet hiking clothes, I fled the lean-to trying to warm my body. I hiked […]

Hiker Bee Acid Tripper – AT Thru-Hike Day 80

January 12, 2014 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

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 […]
