Day: 149 Miles: 8.0 Trip: 1973.5 Started: Rangeley, ME Destination: Redington Campsite
Today we did not get out of Rangeley until almost 11am. A nice breakfast and resupply at IGA ate up most of the morning. The hitch out of town did not take long and we were on the trail at about 11:30. The day started with a 2500 foot climb up to Saddleback Mt. The climb was one of my more enjoyable ones. Lots of exposed rock made for great views on the way up. Crossing the Horn took a little longer than anticipated and by the time we got down the backside of it we decided that we were way too tired to tackle Saddleback Junior and took advantage of an established campsite on the north side of The Horn. Tomorrow we will try to get an early start and make up the miles we did not do today. Despite the late start it was a really nice day with great views.
