We are currently at the Camden, Maine public library updating the blog. Today has been a hard but very rewarding day. We have gone up and down sooo many hills, making us feel quite bad-ass and hardcore. Most of the way has been inland in Maine, but we're finally getting to see a pretty bay with boats here. It has been sunny and probably around 85 degrees. A little while ago we passed the 100 miles mark and celebrated with some veggie jerkey. Our second (of two) outfits are now stinky and sweaty. We've also realized that our goal of 50 miles/day is a bit too ambitious considering how much stuff we're carrying. We've been discussing different routes to cut miles so that we can complete the trip in a month.
We're probably going to stop in 5 miles for the night at Camden State Park campgrounds. (We're getting faster at setting up and taking down camp!)
Mileage: Around 35 miles
Providential Moment: ... Anyone else had one today?
(Added after the original posting): After blogging at the library, we decided that instead of hurrying to our campsite that we would finish reading Anne of Green Gables on the library lawn overlooking the harbor. As providence would have it, the library was having a book drive/sale so we wrote a message in the front cover about our journey and donated it to help things come full circle. (Don't worry Meghan, the copy you gave me is safe at home.)
