They airlifted a kid off the trail tonight. Broke his leg and some ribs, not sure what else. I heard the airplanes ahead of me, but by the time I got to the location, they already flew off with the kid. Other hikers and a medic were still on scene. Wasn’t even a hard part of the trail. Just missed a toe hold while climbing down the ridge. It’s been raining a lot and everything is muddy and slippery and the falls are pretty far down. Sad for the kid, but glad to hear they think he will be OK. Also, glad it wasn’t me. Today I hiked through Mahoosuc, dubbed by the AT Guide as “the most difficult or fun mile of the AT”. Yup. There were definitely times I wasn’t sure about where my foot could, should, or must go. It’s a good day. To spite the storms.
