56.) Northville-Placid Trail: Day 5- Wakely Dam to Spruce Lake #3

Day 5. The first day of my third section here on the NPT. This two-day section will have me hiking with a new partner, Jonathan Zaharek, where today we'll go 24 miles from Wakely Dam at the Moose River Recreation Area southbound to Spruce Lake #3. I'll discover one of my favorite sections of the trail here, as well as my most challenging stretch of the entire trail (where 100 yards took us 40 minutes to traverse) as I flip-flop the NPT map and begin hiking the second half of this infamous Adirondack trail southbound.The 46 of 46 Podcast: The Northville-Placid Trail Edition is sponsored by Crua Outdoors.
