Virtual Hike to Rangeley, Maine

The next destination on my Virtual Hike was Rangeley, Maine.

I have been setting shorter distances between destinations for better motivation for my daily walking and so far it has been working. I have been walking more each day and have made good progress toward New Hampshire. Rangeley is the last stop in Maine and my next destination is across the border in New Hampshire.

My current plan is to then cross through New Hampshire and Vermont to New York. Perhaps I will find some interesting stops along the way.
