9/12 Moxie Bald Lean-to

Today started out with crappy weather, but that shaped up by about 2pm. We had 19 miles to do, but only two climbs of note. The second climb was Moxie Bald. We got up top, the wind was howling, the sun was low (3:30pm at this latitude seems like 6pm to this mid-atlantic native) there was a chill in the air....but it was clear, clear all the way to Katahdin. So we finally laid eyes on her today. I thought it would be a more moving experience, but it was still pretty far away.

We head into Monson, Maine tomorrow. Our last trail town and the beginning of the 100 mile wilderness. I am looking forward to the 100 mile, but it means that after this set of updates, the next time you all hear from me will be from the base of Katahdin. There are no real roads, phones, cell service etc anywhere near the 100 mile wilderness...kind of cool.
