September 10 - Sabbath Day Pond Lean-to (Day 175 – milepoint 1930.0)

The buzz in the shelter last night was about the easy 17 miles to Route 4 and Rangeley, Maine.

Yes, full of optimism was the buzz last night.

Waking to a cold, wet morning, everyone remained in their sleeping bags much longer than normal, and the buzz buzzed to a slightly different tune this morning:

Cosmo: “Did someone mention a shelter at 8 miles?”

Easy Walker: “Yes, but there’s a road to a Bed and Breakfast at 4 miles.”

Achilles (waking up only to roll over): “There’s no way I’m doing 17.”

Safety Inspector: “I’m just starting to notice the smell. Is that me?”

Cosmo: “It’ll pass.”

Easy Walker: “Hey guys, I have some Rum…”

We went 8 miles. Compliments to Maine.
