18.7 miles, 1977.0 total.
very late start today because of shuttle schedule out of gull pond. we hit the trail at 10:30.
what a beautiful day! mostly clear and sunny skies with amazing visibility. climbed Saddleback Mtn - 4120, The Horn - 4040, Saddleback Jr - 3655, and Lone Mtn - 3260. got some great pictures from Saddleback. could look back and see the White mountains in NH and, for the first time, could look north and see Katahdin looming - the final summit and the end of the trail. still have 201.3 miles to go, though.
got here around 7:00. just as we were beginning to cook dinner it started to rain and it hasn't slowed yet. the shelter is full of NOBOs and SOBOs, and I'm with the amigos - tenting nearby. tomorrow is another dealt tough day, especially if it keeps raining, then the trail flattens out.
later,
