Katahdin and the 100 Mile Wilderness Done!

Howdy!

We are now through the 100 mile wilderness and resting comfortably in Monson, Maine. Ill give you a little recap of our journey. We hiked to the summit of Katahdin on July 8. It was cloudy and rainy on the summit but still great. It was 10 Mile round trip 4,000 feet up and then down.We left the Katahdin Stream campsite the next day and walked 10 miles to the Abol Bridge Campsite, the last stop before the 100 mile wilderness. Our miliage through the wilderness was 13, 15, 16, 11, 12.5, 11.7, and 16. We finished earlier than expected and walked out the last three miles to the road.Here are some highlights from the wilderness.

This was from our campsite at Cloud Pond Lean-to
This was our campsite at Rainbow Lake at sunset.
The last night when we were three miles out from the road I called from a buddies phone to get us a place to stay in town. An incredible lady named Rebekah answered the phone and said that she would make room for us to stay. I asked her if they had a shuttle service or if we needed to hitch a ride into town. She said that she would be able to pick me up then I told her that I was with three other guys. With relief in her voice she told me that at the trailhead there would be a red and silver pickup truck. She told me that the keys were in the ashtray and to just drive it into town and she would see us when we got to town. It was amazing haha.Here is the lovely truck and our crew loading up.

This is me and Brit walking up one of the mountians.
