Journey Day 326 | AT Day 149
8/24/86
Up very early. Drink more coffee, quickly talk with Pennsylvania Appalachian Trail Conference group, then hike on down the road into the Maine Woods. Muddy logging roads, one after another. Mud, bog, signs of moose. Along a road near Lake Hebron, into Monson, Maine.
Spy Shaw's Boardinghouse sign, make breakfast! Pig out, rush to the post office for a special Sunday opening, then back for a second breakfast. Shower, laundry, talk with a Polish guy named Alfie. Scott "Hopster" Miller hikes out, but the rest of the boarders hang out, drink beer. Big dinner with steaks. Help Mr. Shaw pull out a guy from Boston. Up to watch TV, sick from overeating, crash late.
