Sprout Day 120 (Monday, July 25th, 2016)

Today was a tough hike. It was wet out and the terrain was slippery and straight down for some of the parts. It was supposed to rain later in the afternoon but we got lucky because it was only sprinkling for a short time. Tomorrow we go into Gorham to resupply. An important strap on my backpack broke today so hopefully I can figure out a way to fix it until a new one can be sent.

We officially left the White Mountains today, now on to the next challenge! Hiking the White Mountains was an amazing experience that I'll never forget. I had so much fun hiking up those mountains and it was beautiful the entire time.

These pictures are in the wrong order today. The beginning of their hike is at the bottom!

Happy to have board walks over the mud!

This is what it looks like when there is a junction of two trails with boardwalks!

Goodbye Whites!
