White House Landing

Day: 171 (September 12)
Starting location: Antlers Campsite
Ending location: White House Landing
State: ME
Miles today: 5.9
Miles total: 2,133.2

We have gotten to the point that even though we hear animals at night, we sleep soundly. Last night we heard little critters around our tent, but we just rolled over and went back to sleep. The mice and particularly the squirrels in Maine have absolutely no mannners. I swear, if they could talk they would straight up ask us for food. When we woke up this morning, a mouse has chewed straight through Jason's pack in search of munchies.

Today we did a short few miles to a place called White House Landing Wilderness Camp. It's the only place that remotely resembles civilization in the 100 mile wilderness. Since the camp is across the lake from the trail, you have to blow an air horn and the owner Bill will come pick you up via boat. It's really a neat place and a welcomed rest for us.




We played rocks, paper, scissors to see who would get to blow the air horn. Jason won.
