September 12 - Poplar Ridge Lean-to (Day 177 – milepoint 1950.2)

I’m grateful to have been able to spend the past week with Dave Risner, The Safety Inspector. Life moves on and great friendships just get better.

After running a few errands in the morning, Dave dropped Paka and I at the trailhead and headed back to Chicago. We climbed over Saddleback Mountain today, which floated us above the clouds. Still challenging terrain in Maine. I’ve literally fallen on my rear-end more in Maine than the 13 other states combined.

Here at the Poplar Ridge Lean-to with Paka Bear, Achilles, Landshark, Baltimore Jack, and Redwood.
