Day: 154, 9/21/2013: Monson, ME

15.3 miles hiked, Slack-packed 15.3 miles back into Monson from the north. Cloudy and cool to start but sun came out later for another great day. Forded 3 rivers. Terrain was lots of short ups and downs which can be harder than sustained climbs and descents sometimes. But it was nice not to have a full pack! The trail was a lot of roots and muddy spots with occasional boulder sections reminiscent of PA.

The picture shows one of the river crossings.  This one happened to have some ropes we could use.
