100-Mile Wilderness is next

Been slacking around Monson since Friday evening. Today was the famous all you can eat breakfast at Shaws', where you order by number - a 2 means two pieces of French toast, two eggs, two pieces of bacon, two pieces of sausage and some home fries.

At the moment everyone's packing up their resupplies and mail drops and calculating how much food they'll actually need for the rest of the trail. Unneeded stuff goes in the hiker box.

Saturday and Sunday morning, the folks from Whiteblaze.net hosted a hiker feed behind the abandoned elementary school here in Monson.

Had a chill Sunday after that. Ran into a nearby town, Greenville, via a shuttle from Shaws' with Zipper and two SoBos, for a huge [$85!] resupply. One final hurrah at the Lakeshore House, on the edge of Lake Hebron:

  2. :-) I had the same comment as Mom....who is that Bearded guy. Abe Lincoln had nothing on you ! It will be fun to shave it off, eventually. Just back to work and cathing up after our New York City bike adventure. Take care, Bob

    This is incorrect info. it should read:
