We've been bad bloggers! Mostly because the hiking has been tough.
Lots of bugs, bogs, rocks, roots and plenty of up and down mountains! Maine is wet and this makes the going slow and tough sometimes. Plenty of rivers to cross and swamps and logs to balance across.
Katahdin on day one was crazy! Lots of boulder scrambling and crawling up rocks on all fours. Immediately after that we headed into the 100 Mile Wilderness. That was tough and the longest stretch on the whole trail with no resupply. Carried in about 6 days of food and it took us 8 to get through Katahdin and the Wilderness. So, the food was spread a bit thin.
We made it out to Monson and had a good time at Shaw's. Neat place! Did laundry, took showers and had a good meal. The next morning we had Shaw's all you can eat breakfast. It was awesome!
We stopped again in Caratunk to pick up a Mail drop from the Post Office and stayed with a neat old guy at a Bed and Breakfast called Sterling Inn. Had a great meal and some good Blueberry Beers at Northern Outdoors Pub and Brewery.
We hiked on to Stratton, ME and that's where we find ourselves now. If this seems rambly it's because people are waiting to use the one computer at this place.
I will try to write again soon.
