Blissful decides to put her feet on the Appalachian Trail, beginning from the north on Mount Katahdin in Maine.

Those in the know will laugh when the Appalachian Trail (AT) is described as a "footpath" as it's more a rock climbing challenge.
And it's tough to get to the start, 100 miles from any airport, then a 4,000-foot climb in five miles up to the summit and Mile 0.
The weather calls for unseasonably hot weather, over 90 degrees, so it's a very early start.
Planning two nights of camping at Katahdin Stream Campground, Blissful walks steeply up to spectacular views before hitting boulders requiring crawling, pressing, pulling and squeezing with only a few iron ladders to help.
The tableland is easy walking, but exposed and hot with no wind and swarms of flies.
At the top, Blissful meets a cohort of thru-hikers and carefully returns right before a loud thunder clap.

MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
