September 21 - Monson, Maine (Day 186 – milepoint 2045.5)

Up early and covered 18-or-so miles by 2:00. What a pleasure to hike where there is so much water.

Streams, ponds, lakes – Maine takes the cake!

Cosmo and I got a ride into town from an elderly couple who summer up here and winter on the east coast of Florida. Very nice folks. They dropped us at The Pie Lady’s home/hostel where we are joined by Redwood, Moose, Chewy, Woolybooger, and Blubud.

The rest of the gang are over at Shaws Boarding Home. Very nice accommodations here and The Pie Lady (Sydney) cooked us up a dinner that rivals any of the best meals on the whole trip. Hence: food-induced coma.
