Less than 500

Oh, the places you'll go!
 The people you'll meet.
The things you'll smell,
The things that you eat!
The look of your feet!
The uphills,
the down hills,
you're covered in Deet ,
that stops the mosquitoes that bite in the heat.
 
With thanks to McGuyver for the first line.
We past a sign a few days ago th that got us all excited, it read: Katahdin 500 miles.
500 miles.

Today, we had a 2005 foot climb to start the day off, with a great deal of rain to go with it.
After a while we stopped trying to avoid the puddles, because our feet were already totally wet, and it was more energy to avoid them.
When we reached the top, we found that the wind was taking advantage of us sweating and getting wet, by trying to give us hypothermia.
THIS IS JUNE 28! IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE COLD!
I'm not joking when I say that we almost got hypothermia, it was that cold up on the mountain.

We've caught up with several of our trail Friends recently, which has helped keep us a little more motivated.

Current Mile: 1704.2
Miles left: 485.0
