other than someones music at 4am, it was a good nights sleep. woke up and had the breakfast bowl and muffin I purchased yesterday during and IGA stop after eating in town. had my picture taken for the 2016 thru hiker yearbook and packed up. took a shuttle back to the trail then started hiking. at first it was good trail and fairly flat. got to piazza rock lean-to before noon so I hiked on to sattleback mnt. saw two animals just past the shelter, about the size of a cat but a cross between a squirl and otter...maybe a mink? got pics on camera for id latter. when i got on the exposed ridge of sattleback the wind almost knocked me over a few times and the temp was quite cool. the horn seemed to be more dificult to me, maybe it was that I was getting tired. got to the campsite and decided not to try for the next shelter so camping here for the night. breeze still kicking up once in a while and quite cool. expect a chilly/brezzy night.

last night was cold and windy as predicted. got up to piss around 10 and started shivering when I got outside the tent. next morning I just didnt want to get out of the sleepingbag, so I got a late start. the climb up and down saddleback jr wasnt to bad and there were views. the climb up Lone Mnt was good trail and once on the ridge I was able to hike at a good pace to the shelter. got in around 4pm. good watersource here too. did see two grouse hens today, but too quick for pics also saw lots of toads, still no moose, but all the signs are everywhere (scat and tracks). proud of the 10+ day!

8:45
cant belive how many people are here! lost count but guess near 20. most sobos, but a few nobos.

not sure why, but I have no get-up-and-go today. started off with waking up to rain, not much, but just enough to get everything wet. it stopped by 8 but it took away my motivation a bit. then going up spaulding mnt was strike two then the final blow was going down sugarloaf. by the time I hit the carrabassett river I was done. my knees were acking and I was just dragging. so I stopped, set up camp and took a dip in the river to refreash myself. now a nap. wether forcast said more rain this afternoon...we shall see, right now it is sunny and nice.

5:00
slept for two hours. time for dinner...maybe that will perk me up because I still feel beat.

8:05
herd thunder for the past hour but now it just started raining.

8:15
rain already stopped, but might get more overnight. tent did its job...no leaks.

8:30
yep, not done yet...more rain, this time with lightning and a good downpour.

7:10am
i dont think it rained again during the night, but if it did then I slept though it. the tent stayed dry although the rain fly was touching the side of the tent in the morning. annother discovery was that some rodent got into both food bags. guess they got interrupted by the rain because they only chewed though 2 zip locks and didnt eat any food. I consider that lucky. looks like I will be packing up a wet tent, no sun yet and no breeze to help dry things. onward!

2:45
hike went well today other than one fall (slipped on a wet rock and landed on my butt). no real great views from south or north crocker mnt due to fog/haze. did get some trail majic at me27 some gatoraid, and it really hit the spot. right after the road crossing I heard thunder. started hiking faster, but a light drizzel already started by the time I reached crandberry stream campsite. got the tent up and everything inside, still no major downpour, but rain as of yet.

the short day yesterday did help my knees, although I did take a second dose of vitamin I before the major downhill.

big milestones of note...I passed 2000 miles on the AT today. yesterday I went under 200 miles left!

3:00
sounds like a group of girls just got here.

4:15
the girls are quite entertaining. my favorite was when they read part if their journal outloud. they are doing Katadin to Gorham (aprox 300 miles). quite the adventure for them. I just hope they quiet down after dinner.

looks like i will be packing a wet tent again, rained at 4:00am. havent checked my cloths line yet, but propably wet cloths too.

12:00

stoped at south horn for lunch. bumped into the cartater for horn pond and asked about my mysterious animal from piazza, she thinks they were american martins...very rare!

8:00
todays hike was much harder than I predicted but also more rewarding. the views from south horn abd bigelow west were good but from avery peak they were spectacular. also unexpected was safford notch with its huge bolders. cant say I love this campsite, way off the trail and not the greatest tentsites, but a goid water source and no bolders under my sleepingbag.here with a sobo (oakey) and had good conversation over dinner, but now it is getting cool and time for bed.

long day today, little biggalow was not too hard and as people said, it flattened out after that, but still more little ups and downs than I expected. heard a big storm was coming around 3pm, but it really didnt really hapen. got here with no water left, two streams that were supposed to be reliable were dry so I was dehydrated when I got here. watered up and also took a swim and felt much better. saw more toads today then ever before. also heard a loon on the lake.

didnt feel like 10 miles today, flat with only minor veriations in elevation. still had to deal with root, rocks and bogs, but flat lets me go faster so got in shortly after 1pm. finnaly saw and ate some ripe blueberrys today by east carry pond....also saw a loon swiming in the lake (pic not that great, but I did get one). got to pierce pond lean-to but decided to set up the tent, since misquitoes kept me up last night and ate me up pretty good. got in a good long swim as well. just waiting to eat dinner....tomarrow cross the Kennebec and into Caratunk for a resupply.

equipment note:
picked up a 2 section piece of a z fold matrice at the last shelter to sit on.

7:05
things to note....a slack packing oportunity for the day after tomarrow and i lost my right little toenail. also a great sunset over the pond.

1:30am

took a look at the stars....buetiful even with a bright cresent moon! just wish my camera could captute it so zi could share it.

got up early to catch the ferry service over the Kennebec River as soon as they start at nine, but everyone else had similar plans so when I got to the crossing there were 4 pople already waiting. the hike was ups and downs and roots and rocks but no real issue, other than banging my left knee on a rock, but was able to walk it off. now at the Paul's B&B Hiker Hostal. had a cheeseburger, milkshake and hot dog. also got my shower and laundry.
