THE "X" FACTOR

Okay… you asked for it… so here it is… THE “X” FACTOR (photos that have been taken but not published in our Blogs).

The above photo shows that (at this point) we are only 557 miles from Katahdin! This is 2 miles from where we get off the trail to make our way to the closest Urgent Care for Foot Shot #2.

This is a photo of a Beaver Pond in Vermont that I took, just before falling to my knees while on the broken boards over the bogs.

Saw the above rock while on the trail and thought of my hiking friend: “Shell Back”

As soon as the trail turns, I catch a glimpse of this rock formation and will dedicate this rock to “Shell Back’s Wife”… Kim.

The Trail Sign depicting where The Appalachian Trail and The Long Trail join as the same trail for a few miles.

Another photo from the highest point of Massachusetts!

A little cabin in the woods (on our hike up to the highest point of Massachusetts).

One of the few exterior views from the state of Massachusetts.

Don’t be hatin’! This beats diggin’ a 6″ cat hole!

Just another “tight squeeze” of hiking that may make you want to use the outdoor toilet in the second photo above!

My Hiking Partner… Wife… Best Friend… and Best Half… Slipper!

OMG! There was a Plant Nursery just off the trail that we just “HAD” to walk through! Here is Slipper (missing home and the ability to play in the dirt).
