NOBO on the Long Trail

This morning we decided to hike a few miles on the Long Trail heading north bound towards Canada. This was the easiest hike so far as the elevation changes were very gentle but we still had to trudge through running creek beds or muddy bogs due to yesterday's rain. For a short while we had an unexpected companion as a hikers dog joined us until his person caught up. We visited briefly and then they were off and out of sight. We met up with several more hikers today and enjoyed resting in one of the shelters along the trail and heading about everyone's adventures. One group of young men had come upon moose twice in the eleven days they have been hiking. Fortunately no one has had any encounters with bears along the way.
