Hurricane Earl brought us heavy rain all night long. Luckily for us it was just rain. It sure made us glad to be under a roof. We always say it can rain all it wants to when we are inside.
We had a big breakfast and headed for the trail. After a few hours on the trail we came to a gravel road with a BBQ set up. A fellow thru hiker who lives nearby had his family come do trial magic. It was great, hamburgers, sausage and sodas! We hadn't seen a set up like that in months! There were a bunch of us there- Skippy, Tree, Kentucky, Hotfoot, Blush and Phantom.
We all hiked on and came to another gravel road. A car of people our age stopped and said that they were staying at a camp just up the road. They invited us for hot dogs and smores and we all quickly agreed. It was cool to see a real Maine camp up close. Turns out this camp didn't even have electricity or running water. We had a real nice time sitting around their fire and chatting all night. What a day for trail magic!
Maine is full of cool frogs like this guy! Doesn't he look fake?
