So, T-Toe's toe is much better, though the hornets had a good time with many other parts unfortunately. We're almost to the 150 miles point and sitting pretty here at some lodge-like place in Caratunk, ME. Easier terrain lately, though some very beautiful country with serene ponds. We hit the only place in the U.S. with a human-powered ferry still in operation. We loaded up our two packs, signed a wavier, and then I helped him paddle us back across the river. He even had resupply products in the back of his truck since Caratunk is a little short in the resupply arena. We're a bit tired from getting up extra early to catch the ferry, so we'll leave you with our top ten things we'll miss and top ten things we're excited for (we've vetoed individuals from this list):
Top Ten Things We Look Forward To:
- Hot showers!
- Fresh food, like FRUIT
- Dry feet!
- Couches
- Having a variety of activites every day!
- Music
- Cotton shirts!
- No more aches
- Being able to watch thunderstorms, while inside
- Rest and relaxation
Top Ten Things We'll Miss:
- Trail Magic
- Hitching
- Eating mass quantities of food whenever we want
- Jumping into my amazing sleeping bag after a tiring day
- Beautiful vistas
- Swimming in pristine ponds
- Searching for wildlife....bears, moose, snakes...
- Cool trail towns
- Thru-hiker discounts (like 50% off for this sweet room!)
- My beard (that is from Sparky!)

It's hard to believe you'll be finished so soon! I think it's amazing that you go to take such a journey. Enjoy the last 150! Take care & stay safe, Debbie :)
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, Koli. Oregon has trails, mass quantities of food, sleeping bags, beautiful vistas, ponds, wildlife, and beards. And, Sally, you'll just have to come visit to get your fix. :D
