Lick Brook Falls & Elaine - Day 154

  The most beautiful part of today's hike was Lick Brook Falls. This is one of the very first pieces of the NCT I ever did- about 30 years ago! If you have read North Country Cache, it's the chapter "One Crystal Sunlit Moment." Lick Brook Falls

This little-known falls is, thankfully, now protected in a Nature Preserve. water flowing over rock

I ate my lunch there. And although I did meet a number of other hikers on the trail nearby, I had the falls all to myself for the time I sat there. I even love the little falls at the bottom. Used my filter and had a long cold drink of Lick Brook elixer water! Lick Brook Falls

In news of other creeks, I just liked these- this one has no name, but I just love the GREEN at long last. creek

And one more little waterfall on another unnamed creek with interesting angles. waterfall

At the end of the day, thanks to Marie's help with the logistics, I got to see Elaine. We had dinner together, but I was so tired that I forgot to take a picture of the two of us together. Anyway... here we are eating. Friends for more years than many of you have been alive. friends eating dinner

I was really tired tonight. Not sure why. Some steep climbs.

Miles today: 15.5. Total miles so far: 1983.
