The Maine Idea - Sept 5

We made it to Maine. 275 miles to go. The woods, views, rock slabs and ponds (are all still as beautiful as ever, but we are good and ready to finish this thing. And what a great finish it's going to be.

Today was a great example of how things just work out. Our plan was to hike 10 miles today to a campsite and 4 miles tomorrow. The remnants of Harvey were coming through Maine this afternoon and this evening so we decided to flip the days and hike 4 today, go to town for the night and then 10 tomorrow. So what do we come across at the 4 mile road crossing? A family cooking hot dogs for Hikers. They had the potato salad and brownies and the works. Then they invited us and 10 other hikers to their house for dinner and stay the night. Wowza. Things just work out.
