08-18-13 Somewhere near Old Blue Mountain



Started the day with granola cereal with dehydrated strawberries and dehydrated milk to fuel us for the plummet into Sawyer Notch, then a climb back up to Moody Mountain.

The climbs, descents and terrain in Maine aren't hard, just slow going with roots and rocks. By the end of the day we were tired from all the elevation change.

We climbed up to Old Blue Mountain for lunch and bumped into two section hikers, Hop-along and Fern Lover. Two hilarious old ladies. Slow moving, but loving every minute.

It was sad to depart with them, but Katahdin beckons. We climbed Bemis Mountain then descended into Bemis Mountain Lean-To for the night. I passed a family of grouse (plural grice?), but unfortunately didn't have the camera.

Enjoyed dinner with friends, then Bamboo, Shaman and Mash scooted on ahead to night hike.
