Monson

Howdy y'all!

We're in Monson Maine, pretty badly bitten by mosquitoes, but having an absolute ball!

It's hot and humid at times, but never cold, happy days!

We have met so many nice, friendly people in the 1.5 weeks we've been here, its unbelievable!

We may not get the chance to access the internet very often, so this might be it for a while.

We're walking 4 days to Caratunk next, then 3 to Stratton, then onto Rangeley which is only about 20 miles from the Canadian Border.

No Moose yet, plenty of chipmunks and red squirrel, some deer, and a pile of Bear Poo! But the bears run away from humans on the East coast so nothing to worry about. Lots of new bird sightings to tick off also.

I spent this afternoon (G) playing my flute in the local general store with the owner (Tim), while he played his guitar, and his friend Colleen sang. They're into traditional Irish Folk music. Then we drank homemade wine.

Took a Kayak into the middle of a huge lake a few days ago (White House Landing) to search for Moose and Bald Eagle. No Moose yet, but we're getting closer. We heard the Eagles in their nest. Can't be sure i saw one, but did see a large bird of prey.

The people walking the trail are very supportive, and the people living here bend over backwards to help the hikers out. I'm off to pack for tomorrow, will hopefully get to a local library or something and update the blog further.

See ya!
