Last Trail Town!

Day: 165 (September 6)
Starting location: Horseshoe Canyon Lean-to
Ending location: Monson, ME
State: ME
Miles today: 9.0
Miles total: 2,064.6

Happy Labor Day friends! Most of the time our days just run together but a holiday is still a holiday on the trail.

Our destination for the day was Monson, ME. Monson is the very last town that we will stop in before we summit Katahdin. We both can't believe that this will be our last resupply, last load of laundry and possible last shower on the trail. Where has the time gone? Where have the miles gone?

We got into town just in time for lunch. The only place in Monson that serves lunch on Monday was the Mobil gas station. Yes, I said gas station. Surprisingly, the food was awesome and we wound up going back for dinner. It's not like we had too options. We spent the rest of the day doing laundry and watching TV. We seem to be in another hiker bubble as we are the only ones at Shaw Boarding House for tonight.



Jason fording the river. What a pro!


We aren't sure what made us order a Hawaiian Pizza for dinner. I think next time we will just stick with pepperoni.

Over 2,000 miles is amazing! Labor Day weekend show must have influenced your decision for the Hawaiian pizza - Margaretville is alive and well even on the AT it seems. Show was GREAT and met the band! Missed ya at the show! Onward to Katahdin!!
