I got up early this morning but the mosquitoes managed to get up
earlier. They were still hovering around my hammock. I did not want
to get out of the hammock, because I feared getting eaten alive. I
finally decided to act and moved as quickly as possible to get
everything packed up.
I saw a beaver hut in the middle of the pond today. I have seen a
number of beaver dams, but this was the first hut I have seen so far
this trip. No sign of the beaver though.
Rasberries! Finally I found some that were ripe. They were sweet :).
However, I think I prefer the blueberries out here over the
rasberries. The blueberries out on the trail taste better than any I
get in the grocery store. The rasberries are about the same as the
store rasberries. Both are good though.
I passed the 70 percent mark today. There is less than 640 miles left
to go. I remember when I hit 600 miles and thought that the time went
by fairly quickly. I'll be in Vermont in only a couple days and then
just New Hampshire and Maine left after that.
I finished my hike by late afternoon and met my dad. My mom's friend
Jeanne invited me to visit her place just a few miles off the trail
and my parents came down as well. We had a fantastic dinner (lasagna,
salad, pie, ice cream, etc.) and I am spending the night here (thanks
Jeanne!). My dad is going to join me for the next couple days on the
trail.
