Day 19 – Zero – Millinocket Maine to Great Barrington MA

Saturday, August 30, 2025. 

Up at 6:45. Had coffee and read until 9:30. It rained hard this morning. Glad to not be on trail. The owner, Gail, came by and we paid our bill and headed to Dunkin for food before getting on I-95 to start our 7+ hour drive to Great Barrington, MA.

On the road at 10:30. We have 6:40 to Great Barrington. Weather is starting to clear and should be sunny by the time we reach southern Maine.

Arrived at the Holliday Inn on the edge of Great Barrington at 6:15. Got unpacked and ran down the street for great Mexican. 

We are slackpacking tomorrow so we unpacked our gear and threw what we are not carrying in the car. All in I’m probably carrying about 13 lbs.
