Day 158: Monson!

Day: 158 Miles: 6.3 Trip: 2071.4 Started: Shirley-Blanchard Rd.  Destination: Monson ME.

Yesterday Sa picked ChinMusic and I up at a road crossing before we headed into the hostel on Monson.  Today we still had six miles of trail to cover before we truly reached the town.  It was a fast stretch and we finished before noon giving us plenty of time to get to Greenville for resupply. 

Monson is another big milestone as its the last town I will see on the trail.  After this is the Hundred Mile wilderness that leads right to the base of Katahdin.  I am staying at Shaw's Hostel.  Shaw's is a famous place on the trail that has been here for as long as most people can remember.  A bunk is cheap and they serve an all you can eat breakfast.  How could I resist?

'Somebody' found some fresh pavement and decided to add a little signage to new road....
