Miles today: 13.9
Total miles: 44
I am basing my entry off hastily written notes in my journal so it will be less descriptive.
The first six miles went by quickly but ended with a decent sized mountain/hill. It had an amazing view of Katahdin far away. I can’t believe we have walked that far.
We had an epic lunch at this beautiful sand beach on a lake. We ate our lunches as we sat in the water. We took a long break and swam around in the crystal clear water with no one else around. What a way to spend the Fourth of July.
There were still about 6 miles to go after lunch. The last two were killing me and felt endless. My little toes felt better but now I have blisters that were killing me. At one point I went the wrong way on the trail and for some reason went as far to climb under fallen trees to follow what I thought was the trail. That was frustrating.
Overall it was a good but long day. The 100 mile wilderness is taking longer than I originally expected and is hard but I’m glad I’m with a group. Also even the fit guys in the group are struggling and tired so I’m glad it’s not just me who is worn out at the end of each day.
