Day 170

8.9 miles to Flume Gorge Visitor center over the Kinsman. Today is the hardest day we have had in a long while, probably the whole trail. Straight up scrambling, then scooting down. Lots of rocks and boulders. Not quite as sketchy as Lehigh Gap or Killington, but definitely a challenge and was a lot longer going. Almost would have been fun with a lighter pack. The views at the top of Kinsman were excellent and the forest is lovely. Silverback found a nearby VFW that let us camp-Commander Randy was incredibly nice and generous and this post has an amazing space. A huge pavilion that we were able to spread out in. We got our get and food bags organized for the next several days through the whites.
