Go Ryan and Kristina!!!
guess we will find out the route as they go, but the route seems kind of long and the elevation gain kind of low for the Mats Roing route. Wonder if this is the route Seaver posted number of years ago?

 

[NH Tramper]

Awesome. Good luck to you guys!

[RoySwkr]

Well they've made it as far as Weeks, 1 down 47 to go

Good luck, hope you like hot weather

 

[Little Rickie]

My best thoughts.

35 miles and 6500 cals a day! At least your pack will be getting lighter everyday.

 

[Billy]

Franconia Ridge between Liberty and Little Haystack is broken out.

 

[ColdRiverRun]

Uggg, they're taking on "the suck" right now..road walking with heavy packs and midday sun. Stay strong!

Do any NH experts know the exact mileage from the Western Cabot trail head to the Waumbek parking lot?

 

[bikehikeskifish]

Google Maps says 6.7 miles

LOL! Ok, I guess I should of been more clear that I meant via the trails they took! I was guessing at about 19 miles, road to road.

 

[bikehikeskifish]

You threw me by mentioning the road at both ends

They're going to burn through, what, a pair of lithium AA batteries each day with the SPOT in full tracker mode? Good thing lithium AAs are lightweight!
