5/6/21 Cool last night and this AM and evening but during the day quite pleasant. First 2/3rd of the trail were rocky but last third grassy which made the hiking easy. Usual views which were nice. Tomorrow only 6.8 miles to US 52 where Bubba will pick me and Piper up and drive us to the Big Walker Motel where we have reservations and hopefully my new tent will be there as well as package with Piper’s usual food. Will wash clothes, resupply and send back REI tent and blow up sleeping pad which has another leak probably from Piper’s nails. Want to decrease weight of pack and send one pair of long pants and socks home. Need to increase miles done to get to Mount Katahdin before Sarah’s wedding.Have 1608.1 miles to go.Around 147 days to get back by 10/1/21. That’s doable averaging 11 miles a day.
