15.2.107 AT2006.7 19m hike

Horn Pond campsite

Day 107 10 days to go.

Got up late and hiked out at 7am. About 10am Dan said we were behind schedule. I picked up the pace and we got to the road to go into town an hour late. Meanwhile Dan had two offers for a ride. He gave Tom a call back and he was there in 20min to take us 5 miles into town to resupply and take us back to the trail. Tom retired from the US Coast guard after 32 years. Tom is now a Trail Angel for the AT hikers. We needed an Angel to keep us on schedule and "poof" Tom shows up. Many thanks!

87 falls. #86 was a classic. I got up from the shelter to get rid of excess fluid at 2am when I fell through the porcupine chewed through floor boards that I couldn't see in the dark.

Saw lots of toads, big and little. Cute little creatures.

Stepping up the pace tomorrow. We'll blow through the Bigalow Mountains and get closer to the Kenebuck river Ferry for the next day. A 27 mile hike for tomorrow.
