We are in Monson, our last trail town stop. We are very excited and can't wait to get into the 100 mile wilderness tomorrow morning after a big breakfast at Shaws. The reception has been pretty non-existent since Stratton and I expect that will continue to be the case so this will likely be my...

We have had a few rough days. I have been battling some GI issues and am only now feeling better. We did have a gorgeous day over the Saddleback Ridge because my stomach forced us to take a half day on the rainy day so there are bonuses to this sickness . . . hahaha. We are in Stratton to...
