Slept in a little bit today,  enjoying the comfort of a real bed as long as possible before heading back into the woods.

Allison cooked us breakfast and Rob drove us back into town. They were great hosts and we really enjoyed and greatly appreciated our time with them.

Back in town I stopped by the local outfitter to pick up a resupply package sent by former thru hiker Aaron and his wife.  Thanks again!

Rabbit and I hiked through Hanover and back into the mountains.  The trail started off pretty steep, steep enough that someone had left a long piece of knotted rope to climb up a muddy/rocky section.

The trail climbed up Moose Mountain,  hitting the north and south peaks.

After Moose Mountain there were some nice views from Holt’s Ledge before stopping for the night at Trapper John Shelter
