and then there were 2!

New Hampshire and Maine to go, thats it, and the weather is clearing up, Yeahh. We had a great time in VT but definately lokking forward to the Whites and the wilderness of Maine. Still meeting cool people who both assist and inspire us on our journey to Katahdin, which is becoming more of a tangible thing than a dream! Just a quick update then, as we're about to meet our good old earthcorps buddy Katherine. Hope all is well in the "real" world!

Moon shining in as we're getting ready for sleep. Stealth camping just before Styles Peak made for a beautiful night.

Practiced pose atop Bromley Mountain. This tower gave us a five-state view!

Rock cairns line the trail. Strange, yet peaceful.

Work for stay at the Back Home Again Cafe was amazing! Plus we got to meet up again with our dear friend, Blaze, whose been recovering from Lyme meningitis-yikes! We helped clean up around the cafe in exchange for a bed, shower, and delicious food!




Also, we helped out in the bakery bagging bread and making pitas! This place is awesome and so are the people. Definitely plan to go back to visit.

Slightly blurry, but hoot is pointing out that we are departing The Long Trail and veering right to follow the AT to New Hampshire. The Long Trail continues on to Canada, perhaps we will complete it some day....

The lookout from the "lookout farm cabin". Beautiful views recently and great weather makes hiking 20 miles not so tough.

Yea!!! I won! Made it to New Hampshire! Here we are crossing the Connecticut River that marks the boundary between VT/NH. Two states left, supposedly the two hardest, but we're ready!!!



Welcome to Hanover, NH. Home of Dartmouth College and our new friend, Zemora. She started the trail back in GA and got off to get back to work here in Hanover. To the right is "Just Mike" fellow thru-hiker from Australia. We pitched in to sticker books for fun!



Back to School. Here I am walking on the Dartmouth College Campus. I think I would have fit in with a smaller backpack.
