Long day, but a good one. This heat is sticking with us. Could actually feel gusts of warm air this morning. Had two “little bumps” to get over before the terrain flattened out. They weren’t so little -- never are when you’re expecting them to be.
Took a break at a sandy beach. I actually swam (or dunked). Then Dave found a big leech. The terrain eventually did get much easier, but it was no superhighway. Had lunch at a shelter with a waterfall, then I headed out on my own while Dave read the register. Good time to do some solo thinking.
Got to the Antlers campsite around 4:30. Huge and nice. Went out for another swim and discovered big blisters on my heels. Ouch! Got cooled off for the last 3.3 miles. I spent the time thinking about all the meals we’ve had at people’s houses and showers I’ve taken.
Nice shelter with a great spring and level tentsite. The thermometer on the shelter wall read 77 degrees at 8:30 p.m. This is Maine in September? Revised forecast for middle of next week is not good -- calling for rain. We shall see…
