We breathed a sigh of relief to leave New Hampshire. At last we are in Maine, and hopefully on the home straight. Then we discover that the mountains in Maine are even worse than the Whites in NH. Over the last 4 days we have only been able to manage 10 miles a day.
Yesterday we did the Mahoosic Notch - a very deep valley which is filled with huge boulders - I mean really huge - and we have to wend our way through them, sometimes crawling through small crevasses, and having to take our backpacks off and push them through ahead of us. It took an hour and a half to travel the one mile through the notch. I emerged covered in scratches on my knees and elbows from the granite.
