Day 154 - 1st September - Gentian Pond to Full Goose Shelter - 9.6 miles

A really hard day with lots of technical climbing up rock cliffs and descents. We walk all day with Sourdourgh and enjoy his company. We only cover 9 miles- it is a long day - 9 hours of hiking - so we have averaged one mile per hour. We have had some great views from the ridge tops. At the campsite, Trooper catches up with us, and we also see Salty and Tiny Dancer who have missed bits and caught up to us. There is an older couple in the shelter with bad hips and bad knees, psyching themselves up for the hardest mile on the AT tomorrow - the Mahoosic Notch.

We clock over 1900 miles today and camp at 1902 miles. Still on track, despite the slow pace.
