Today was a carbon copy of yesterday’s weather as Gerry and I set off on the climb up to traverse the Barren-Chairback range. Some solid ups and downs slowed us up quite a bit so we ended the day at Chairback Gap as the Camera Crew, Leki-less, and Camel moved on to tent by the river a few miles down the mountain. White Cap Mt. and a long climb awaits tomorrow along with our first views of Katahdin from the summit. Word up and down the trail is that the remnants of a tropical storm are on the way. Hope we get some sunshine soon.
