AT Day 138: Moody, Old Blue & Beemis Mtns

Daily Miles: 17.4, Total Miles: 1,963.7

I usually start the day going uphill but not today. Overcast and drizzling, I headed down and back up to Moody Mountain, down and up even higher to Old Blue Mountain. After a quick lunch on the next high point, Beemis Mountain, I’m thinking enough already. My quads, glutes and knees are tired of this! Great scenery when my glasses aren’t fogged up and the thick mud is getting annoying.

Drizzling again, I made it down and back up to ME Route 17, with dramatic views of Mooselookmeguntic (that’s a mouthful) Lake and a pretty direct connection to Rangeley ME. The clouds even parted for a bit – that’s a good sign. A fairly quick hitch and I’m checking into Rangeley Inn on the shores of Rangeley Lake. I think I’m going to like this place. I had my first lobster roll on the AT across the street at Sarges.
