You are listening to the Hiking Radio Network where we talk the walk with shows by hikers about hikers for everybody. Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail,

the ultimate midlife crisis,

joins Stephen his guests every week as he staggers from Georgia to Maine.

Hi guys, and thanks for coming back again to Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail, the ultimate

mid-like crisis. It is now July. I started in February. But I can say for the very

first time that if I finish I'll be finishing next month. That feels so good.

We've done so many miles and even though we've got plenty to go, mainly tough ones, we definitely

now have our eye on the prize.

It's been four days since we've been last together and so with no need to introduce

our sponsor because we don't currently have one.

Let's hear what happened on day

number 123 day 123 day 123 u.s route 7 mile 1491.6 to brassy brook shelter 1506, a 14.4 mile day.

We started out from Mary's back at Route 7.

We just went two or three miles kind of flat through fields and on roads to Falls Village and Falls Village is where

oh by the way I had to do this where we spent the previous evening watching Mary and our

friends play guitar and singing and as I wrongly said last time it was a it was a third

Thursday of the month it was in fact the fourth Thursday of the month. So I didn't

do very well with that. But anyway, so we're back into Falls Village and as we came back into the

village itself, we then crossed the Hussetonic on an iron bridge and started climbing. But then we

heard the Great Falls before we saw them. Suddenly they appeared and they really are a special sight.

These falls, they must fall about, I don't know, 80, 100 feet, something like that.

And there was a guy flying fly fishing on the bottom and we were just standing around right by the edge of the water.
