17.5 miles, 2013.1 total.
wonderful dry and cool night. got back on the trail at 8:30 this morning.
had a couple of small beautiful climbs this morning and then it flattened out a bit. passed a large stream that flowed over giant bloulders that were bowl shaped. SO, took off my clothes and got in. it was just like a big bath tub...with really cold water, but it felt great.
got some great pictures from the top of Bigelow mountain as I hiked over its long rocky ridge.
Maine has been wonderful so far. couldn't really ask for better weather so far. it's almost like Maine has a little bit of all the other states rolled into one. mountains, hills, fields, rocks, boulders, roots, bogs, streams, rivers, etc. the good, the bad, and the ugly. so fitting that it's the last state. really amazing.
later,
