Our last scheduled Hike. Sample of the 100 mile wilderness.

Today is the last day of our planned hikes. We took off to Monson to find our cook at the general store was out, so we hauled a couple up to the trail head while we were waiting for her to return.

The first picture is out of sequence because I don't know what I am doing. LOL We came back and had this breakfast. (Shirl, don't look, that is HAM and EGGS and home fries), we are celebrating our last day of hikes.
This is 'Juke Box Hero' and 'Double Vision' and the Bearded driver. below.

Here they are about to head into the 100 mile wilderness. They are happy campers today, they are headed toward their goal Mt. Katahdan.

Here is the warning posted before they enter the wilderness, that there will be no place to buy food etc, or get help for the next 100 miles. But that did not phase my Girl (since she wasn't walking but 7 miles (total).

The first thing she encountered was a shaky ladder bridge.

Then two blow downs across the trail, but her short legs could still manage to cross.

Just me and a AT sign.

One of the many root ladders today, but it was an easy walk most of the way a few bogs, a few rocks and a lot of roots. Then you see simple things like this, you have to give Ole' Bill Irwin another pat on the back. Today I tried a few times to close my eyes and work my way along. Man it is tough even it you saw what was coming before you closed your eyes.

"She always says when I catch up and find her like this, "I found this tree (or rock) with my name on it."

Just another sample shot of today's trail.

The rock stackers strike again.

Sherry is walking ast a root ladder, she is on a solid rock top.

A picture of the first Pond we came to, beautiful but today extremely windy.

Sherry on the Solid rock shore line of hte second lake. I wondered if the whole lake was on or in a rock.

Broken bridge ofver one of the many bogs.

We walked back out of the woods and decided to visit Greenville, a town just up the road. We passed this house with a beautiful model church in the yard.

We passed a small settlement named Shirley, incorporated in 1834. See that Shirl, there are things older than you!!!

This is a painted rock. I am a yard sale enthusiast. We passed a sign saying yard sale. Found a part Indian lady, who paints and does crafts, ties flies, dresses deer and Moose, etc. Today she was having a yard sale. Sorry the other pitures did not come out. But Sherry got a pair of ear rings for Christmas made from deer antlers. No not the whole antler just a cross section. LOL

I am depressed with so many huge houses that stand abandoned up here. My mind will not stay still making up stories of WHY?

OH, LOOK HERE!!!!

What do you call these? Aren't they something like 'Pinz nez' glasses? What would you pay for them? In the original case, Dr. name on the case and everything is tact. I got these at a yard sale for a dollar. No I don't know why, they just struck me as very interesting. I am going to search the Dr. name later this evening.

That was our day. Tomorrow we head down to Bangor,

Thanks for coming by this way.

PS:

And yeah we are still high with meeting Debra and Bill Irwin. We are still bragging. I love to see the faces of the folks when I say we met them. The cook and the owner of the Generl Store was impressed also. But you should have heard the kids we took to the trail. There must be a youthful saying now, "NO WAY!" AWESOME!
