Almost there...

Frank
Aug 24, 20191 min read

Have now covered 2000 miles of indescribable experiences and life long memories. There are only two more towns that are close to the trail for resupply, Caratunk and Monsoon. Just before Caratunk we have to cross the Kennebec River which because of dam openings and water entering from different areas is dangerous to ford. A hiker sadly drowned last year   The ATC pays for a canoe crossing for all thru hikers
