Thursday, 9\/10<\/p>\n
AT Miles = 13.1 \/ 1958.3
Other Miles = 0 \/ 60.1
Total Miles = 13.1 \/ 2018.3<\/p>\n
Miles to Katahdin = 220.0<\/p>\n
Almost 90% done! 90% will be 217.83 miles, so I am only 2.2 miles shy.<\/p>\n
I hiked with my full pack today. It was a pleasant hike, through the
woods on a pretty day, but nothing special. Fortunately, the terrain
was relatively mild. Still, walking downhill with my full pack is
tough on my tender knees.<\/p>\n
When I reached Rt 4 I emerged right into the middle of a construction
site. In fact, they had even installed a huge orange "WORK ZONE AHEAD"
sign on the trail. The road was one lane with traffic controlled by
flagmen, and I thought it was going to be impossible to hitch a ride
there, but after about 10 minutes a really nice couple stopped and
gave me a ride. They told me they don't pick up hitch-hikers, but they
do pick up hikers. They dropped me at the IGA because I wanted to buy
a pint of Ben & Jerrys Phjish Food ice cream. They even offered to
wait for me and then drive me here to the hostel, but I told them I
would call the hostel for a ride.<\/p>\n
I will be back to slack packing tomorrow.<\/p>\n
