Well the day started with a pancake breakfast at Harrison’s Pierce Pond Cabin. Which was a 10 min walk from the Lean To. What an enjoyable start as 8 of us had coffee, a doz. pancakes each and good conversation. Afterwards 6 of the 8 who were heading northbound took off for the Kennabac River 3.5 miles away to catch the Canoe ferry which started at 9. We arrived at about 8:45. It was 9:45 before I made across the river as I was in the fourth group of two to go across. On the other side we all walked to Caratunk B&B for resupply ( I had a box mailed there) and milkshakes. Yes, I had a large choc. milkshake before 10:30 am. After packing away the resupply of food, finishing my milkshake and checking messages via WiFi (no phone signal again today). I headed out to the Bald Mtn Lean To with the others which was about 15 miles away. I hiked with Highlander today from Leesburg, VA. We are closer in age and a lot more companiable in hiking speed. We arrived to the Lean To just after 5 and seven of us are here together. The 6 others include (Starcrunch, Moss, Papa Smurf, Pirate, White Cap and Highlander).
The plan is to get up early (4:30 am) and hike to Monson tomorrow (22 miles).
