The thunderstorm that started late yesterday afternoon turned off my lights and I slept until this morning. Refreshed, I started the day, packed up my soaking wet tent, and set off.
The forest was still dripping from the rain, it was fresh, but the blue sky and the morning sun promised a wonderful day

In all quietness I started from my unofficial campsite. I had covered enough miles yesterday to be able to cross the Kennebec River by ferry today. The ferry operates from 9 am to 2 pm and I wanted to be there around noon.
I reached Pierce Pond relatively quickly. Shortly thereafter, I met 2 hikers at

In der Nacht blies ein kräftiger Wind 🌬, so war der Himmel heute Morgen sonnenklar ☀️ und die Luft frisch. Ich bin in voller Montur losgezogen und nach und nach verschwand die Jacke und der Pullover im Rucksack. Auf dem Little Bigelow machte ich eine kurze Pause, um die Aussicht zu genießen und hockte

This morning I left the hotel. It was lit as always and music was playing, but I still didn't see anyone here.
There was little going on on the streets today, so I could walk relaxed along the highway to the trail.
Back on the trail, I needed a few stumbles over roots to reorient myself and then it went

Today I applied an American strategy to the AT hike. I started from the hotel and that was also my goal again. So I left the tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, bear canister, and change of clothes at the hotel and went for a tour with an almost empty backpack. As an American, I would have had a shuttle

Last night it drizzled a bit, but the thunderstorms spared me and so I could pack up my tent dry 😅.
The squirrels in the forest made quite an alarm when I set off. Their alarm calls practically ran alongside me. It was funny, because they still look curiously before scampering up the next tree.

Last night and during the night it rained. I kept hitting snooze on my alarm until the rain stopped and then slowly started the day. The paths around the lakes were accordingly boggy and the stones and rocks were slippery. The stony paths were nevertheless easy to manage. When, the higher I got, rock

Today was a gray, unspectacular day with a peaceful and very calming atmosphere. In the forest, I saw the ground where rain showers had already come down and the clouds kept changing their shades of gray. Somehow I was always lucky and walked through the hiking day without getting rained on.

This morning on the descent from Hall Mtn Shelter into the valley, it didn't take long and I was able to refuel with water 😅.
After that, it went up the relatively low Moody Mtn, but the steep ascent had its challenges. Once at the top, I first needed a break. There was a small viewpoint and I sat there

I had already seen the rock faces of Baldpate Mtn from Old Speck Mtn yesterday. I hoped that the path to the summit led through the forest, but from West Peak I already saw that the path leads up over the rocks. Fortunately, the summit is much rounder than it appeared from yesterday's distance. So the

Last night, a Section Hiker going south asked me if tomorrow's trail would be as bad as his last two miles today. I was a bit taken aback and said it wouldn't be that bad.
Today, the "longest mile" on the AT through Mahoosuc Notch was on the agenda.
First, I had to get there. The ascent from the shelter

Hui... the Mahoosuc Range is challenging me. Today's 15 km were a full day's program with many climbing sections and demanding trails.
First, it went up Mtn Success. At the beginning of the ascent, there was a rock slab secured with climbing holds and relatively intact stone steps. On a short downhill

This morning I was really lucky. As I wanted to start from the hotel, a hiker approached me, asked if I wanted to go to the AT and said they had a free spot in the car. And so, 10 minutes later, I was at the hiking parking lot and had saved myself a 1.5-hour walk 😅🙏.
The rain from the night had stopped

Uber made me wait 3 times and the Hikershuttle only took the hikers for the hostel... Oh well... Healthy feet solved the problem 🤣.
The Outdoor Outfitter is not the first to have closed. This is perhaps an effect of the Hikerhostel, which offers its guests an all-round service including the sale of equipment 🤔. A shame.

The day began wonderfully. Stepping out of the tent, I saw the dawn over the lake. I slipped into my shoes, sat down by the shore for breakfast, and watched the play of light until the sun rose above the fir trees.
After that, I set off in good spirits and warmed up, because the nights are already getting
