Occasionally the trail is on a gravel road - nice without the mud!! Warm and muggy @hammerhead still has pack covered but the dripping has slowed down.@reneetougas and @toesalad walk off into the mist....

This little road section was a welcome break from the mud on the trail. @toesalad

After miles of rock and root hopping to sidestep mud (sometimes successfully even), having a short section of road walking was a welcome change.

After a couple days of rain vermud lives up to its name.

Another bridge, another creek crossing. @karentogo

A red eft day. With all the rain and overcast weather the red efts have been out in the trail. Whoever is hiking in front of the pack calls “red eft” to make sure no one behind steps on them.

6:30 am Stratton Pond Shelter. Day 5 of hiking before resupply.

Post processing the end of a rainy day, snug and dry now at Stratton Pond shelter. Tomorrow we head into Manchester center for our first resupply.

After my sponge bath, feeling like a million bucks to be kinda clean and done hiking for the day. One more day hiking before resupply in Manchester Center
