A day in town waiting for the sunshine. I have eaten at the same sandwich shop I always do when I come to this town. Its a little Italian deli called Orvieto. Should ever find yourself up here I would recommend the place for great prices, and better food. The owner is really nice too and as odd as it seems when you know me and my anti-advertisement attitude I have been telling people for about 1k miles about that sub shop. mmmmm. I may have to go back tonight.
I spent the last few hours catching up with Lisa, a cousin that grew up with in Stonington, ME but have not seen in probably 25 years. Its interesting how the old connections leave you with so much in common...even if I do look like a hardened criminal in my skully fleece hat :)
In talking with someone from the Katahdin Press I found out that Millinocket is working on a sort of northern Maine trail fest for mid September. That's amazingly cool since this is the northern terminus and there seems to be a lot of support for us hikers up in this area. I'm amazed at how many people have not taken advantage of the former Governors (1920's?) gift of "Baxter state park."
Its still raining which is fine. Hopefully tomorrow will be the partly cloudy with chance of rain that the park predicted. I'm looking forward to it and for the guys to show up in a few hours. The journey will not be completely over as I hope to get together a 'best of' photos to burn cd's of them for any that are intersted.
Well I guess I should start the mile or so walk to where I said I would meet the guys. A quick jaunt in the rain. The feet are feeling much better but the replacement shoes didn't arrive so the trek up the mountain will be in the cursed boots I have. C'est la vi, no?
