Back in May, we met and hosted a group of three Appalachian Trail thru-hikers collectively known as the Traveling Circus.  We’ve been reading their blog all summer long and following their progress.  As luck would have it, our paths crossed again in Lincoln, New Hampshire a few days ago.  It was exciting to see them again as they near the end of their journey.  We picked them up in Lincoln, and went for breakfast together at Polly’s Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, NH.  Polly’s is a local favorite.  They have amazing food and a lovely view.  After breakfast, we dropped them back off at the trail and wished them luck for the rest of their hike.

Kate (Ringleader), Emily (Lightning) and Brandon (Monkey) looked happy and healthy – although they all claimed to be exhausted.  They’re scheduled to summit Mt. Katahdin sometime between August 10-12.
