Day 156

Day: 156 Miles: 11.9 Trip: 2046.6 Started: US201 Destination: Moxie Pond

Muddy trail?

I ended up doing a zero yesterday while we waited out a major rain storm.  We had really lucky timing to be at the Sterling right when the storm hit.  Sa, ChinMusic's wife got here yesterday and is going to slack us tomorrow.  Sterling has a great deal and is even giving us the third night free.  This was a great stay.   We got to sit out the rain for free and will even get a slack pack day in.

Today is only 12 miles and I am glad for this.  The rain yesterday really soaked the trail and conditions were pretty bad.  Everything is very slick.  Every step must be planned out.  This pick and step type hiking is very tiring mentally.  Maine so far has been a blessing and a curse.  The trail is hard and going slow.   Hopefully after two days of sunshine the trail will be in better shape.

At the end of the day I came to this sign and thought I might be on the wrong trail....

Spell check?
