July 16, 2010; Made it to Gorham

I've made it out of the hell that is the state of Maine, and am currently in Gorham, New Hampshire. I did the Mahoosuc Notch a couple days ago, which is considered the toughest mile of the trail. It is basically a giant horizontal rock scramble, and I had to do it in a terrential downpour. Add to that the fact that it was about 40 degrees in the notch (there is snow in the notch all year round), and it was a pretty fun time. The last 40 or so miles since Andover have been pretty brutal, and I actually ran out of food for a couple days here thanks to screwing up my resupply. When I got to Gorham I ate 3 double cheeseburgers, a McChicken sandwich and a Big Mac and I was still hungary. I will be heading into the White Mountains tomorrow which will probably deliver the same ass kicking as Maine. 300 miles down, 1900 or so to go.
