This got the rest of the family going! I am a member of the 'Peakers' and '52 with a View'. At 76, I am slowing down, but I am taking the other grands on great hikes throughout the state, VT and Maine. Only used the boat twice. I did not miss it.
We are not ice cream lovers, more farm to table. Many of the hostels served great and nutritional food! And I don't miss the fancy pansy restaurants.
I am amazed how the grandkids adopt the free spirit of nature and embrace the lifestyle I grew up with in the 70s.

I think I met your granddaughter on the trail last week! We were on the Garfield Ridge Trail, which would make perfect sense if she just hit Maine.
If it was her, she was walking with at least one other young woman and was very bubbly/friendly/cheerful at a time when others were STRUGGLING down from Garfield. I often ask for trail names but did not this time, but she definitely looks like the woman we talked to.
Either way, the Mahoosucs—often considered the hardest of the whole AT—are best done after conditioning in The Whites!
