The forest has been exceptionally lush and covered in moss recently.
Day 113, 7/27: M-2118, Logan Brook (23mi)
The morning view from Forth Mtn.
Day 112, 7/26: M-2095, 4th Mtn Bog (21mi)
The morning started by entering the 100 Mile Wilderness.
Day 111, 7/25: M-2074, Monson, ME (18mi)
This was the view as I left Moxie Pond this AM.
The pic came out way better than I realized when I took it…the reflection is amazing. The best part about the pond was I heard loons calling all throughout the night.
Day 110, 7/24: M-2057, Moxie Pond, (23mi)
A quiet morning at Pierce Pond. I wasn’t in a huge hurry because they Ferry across the Kennebec River (4mi away) doesn’t start til 9am
Day 109, 7/23: M-2034, Pierce Pond, (24mi)
The clouds were still lifting as I climbed Little Bigelow Mtn. in the AM.
Day 108, 7/22: M-2011, Sanford Notch, (19 mi)
A brief rain just as I was leaving camp cleared out as I started the first climb of the morning. This is looking back toward Sugarloaf Mtn. which I was on top of yesterday evening
Day 107, 7/21: M-1992, Carabassett Camp (24mi)
A 2-holer privy with a cribbage board in the middle…what more could a hiker want?
Day 106, 7/20: M-1968, Rangely Farmhouse (9mi)
It was a relatively easy 9 miles to the road crossing that gets you to Rangely, Maine.
I had a resupply box sent to the Hiker Hut just a couple hundred yards down the road. My box was there but unfortunately they don’t have wifi, cell phone service or laundry facilities. They do have an incredible piece of property with beautiful flowers and a very relaxing vibe…a place I’d normally seek out if I hadn’t been in the woods the last five days. Instead I hitched the 9 miles to Rangely.
Day 105, 7/19: M-1959, Sabbath Pond (21mi)
It was a cool morning in the 50’s mostly the result of the rain /wind that came around 9pm last night. I heard from some southbounders that they had gotten hit with rain/hail around 2pm. Luckily it cleared out quickly. There were a lot of great views today…,
