Miles to Katahdin = 78.6<\/p>\n
I put in a hard day’s work today, hiking from 7:15 in the morning until 6:45 in the evening. I started the day by climbing 1750′ up Barren Mountain, then I traversed the entire Barren-Chairback Range: Barren Mountain, Fourth Mountain, Third Mountain, Columbus Mountain, and Chairback Mountain. From Chairback Mountain I made the long descent to the Pleasant River, fordede the Pleasant River, and hiked another five miles up past the cut-off for the Gulf Hagas Trail.<\/p>\n
While coming down towards the Pleasant River I ran out of water. Hiking along, tired and dehydrated, I took the sixth fall of this hike. It was really stupid; I caught the toe of my boot on a root and down I went.<\/p>\n
I reached the shelter about 15 minutes before it got too dark to see the trail. I set up camp, fetched water (had to use my headlamp), washed up a bit, cooked and ate dinner, and went to bed, exhausted.<\/p>\n
