The next two weeks, more or less, are going to be hell. The terrain will be difficult and I will be out of shape but I'm going to try my best to push through. The days are long and my miles are relatively short at the beginning so I can take my time and enjoy where I am. The description of the last three hundred miles of the AT sounds awesome with mountain views, camping near ponds, fording rivers, and even a two person ferry.
I avoided checking the weather forecast for Maine until this week and I was pleasantly surprised. Highs around 75℉ (~23℃) and evening lows around 50℉ (~10℃). No rain for the first half of the first stage with a 50% chance of rain on the back half. Since I will be hiking at elevation the temps will most likely be a few degrees cooler - perfect hiking weather.
My next stop is Andover, ME. It will be a short one night stay at a hostel (most likely) with a post office resupply. See you then!
