Hike in Progress: Ludlow Mountain, via Healdville Trail (August 7th)

posted in: Trip & Hike Planning

We plan to start hiking around 11:00 A.M. Monday morning (August 7th). You’ll be able to watch our progress below, which will be tracked by my DeLorme InReach Explorer Two Way Satellite Communicator. It should start updating my location as soon as I hit the trail.

Please note: During my hike, the image below was a live, interactive map. It is now a static image, showing what was visible as I finished my hike. An explanation of what you’re looking at below will be posted soon.
