Holy cow... home stretch! Southern Maine proved to be just as difficult as the Whites in New Hampshire! The trail was really tough for a while, and it started to feel as if it wasn't going to let up until the end! It did however! Maine has been absolutely amazing! There are sooo many lakes and ponds that the trail goes by! Plus, every time you summit a mountain, you get the killer view of the wilderness around you, plus huge bodies of water everywhere! There were a bunch of fun boulder scrambles in Maine as well! Mahoosac Notch was a mile long boulder field that was a lot of fun to figure your way thru!
We heard from the rest of Chicken Pot Pie... they're about a week or so behind us and might jump ahead and do the 100 mile wilderness with us. We've met a lot of really cool people lately though! We kind of made our way into a whole new bubble of people! Anyways, Caratunk is our next to last town. We'll be in Monson, ME in about 3 days... then we start the 100 mile wilderness (which ends with us celebrating on top of Katahdin!) We ended up pushing our finishing date back to the 18th. We had fallen behind schedule and there was no way to catch up without some serious injuries!
Its so surreal to have this trip come to a close! We're both pretty excited for a life that doesn't involve hiking 15 to 20 miles a day though! :) Well, I'll update in a couple days in Monson! We miss everyone!!
