September 26 - Nahmakanta Stream Campsite (Day 191 – milepoint 2116.4)

Good, long day. Paka and I got out early and he finally saw his first Moose. Two of them, in fact, feeding near the shore on the far side of Mountain View Pond, submerging their entire heads under the surface of the water to reach the vegetation at the bottom. We were excited to find canoes nearby but, alas, they were chained and locked. Someone was thinking.

We’re all a bit spread out in the 100-Mile Wilderness right now. Cosmo and Spice about five miles ahead; Landshark, Easy Walker, Huff, and Puff (who left Monson a day after us) hopefully not far behind. The plan right now is to finish on Monday the 29th, weather permitting. Searching but not really feeling any emotion around it at the moment. Just enjoying being here now.

Chewy found the Bible in his pack and isn’t speaking to Paka.
