After a nice night with lots of wine, we started our morning a little slow. Good thing we had a short day planned. Even though it was short milage wise, we had two peaks to climb. They were tough but the views on top were phenomonal. Maine is simply gorgous.
The last few days have been rather warm. In fact, coastal Maine has had 3 consecutive days above 90 degrees, which hasn't happened since 2002. For us this heat is nothing, but I don't think Mainers like being hot. We heard on the radio that some schools were going to be closed due to the hot temperatures. Ha!
The hike down from Avery Peak seemed to take us forever, but on the way down we crossed the 2,000 mile mark. That number sounds crazy to us. We have hiked over 2,000 miles! If our legs aren't strong now, I don't know when they will ever be! I can see muscles I didn't even know I had!
Everyday we get closer and closer to Katahdin. I can't wait until we have our first real view of her!
