Day 161, Friday-9/11/09
Bird, 18.2 miles, 2146.1 miles from Springer
The weather we’ve been having has been consistently awesome. I am very thankful for that.
Today was another day of big miles. We passed some beautiful lakes with sandy beaches in the middle of the Wilderness of Maine…… I had no idea there could be sandy beaches so far North; pretty sweet. We ended our day at Rainbow Stream Lean-To.
#9 Limbo, 2146.1 miles
GOING STRONG
We’re just days from the finish line and after 2000+ miles and five months of hiking, we’re still pushing out 20 mile days. My ankle problem has seemed to just disappear….. I guess you really can just walk it off. (5 days of walking it off.) We’re nearly out of food which is forcing us to do big miles, but it feels good to push ourselves this late in the game.
It was a great day today. Bird and I talked all day long about the trail and our favorite moments. It’s hard to believe there are only two days left.
