Camping Barren Ledges 2091.7

After a nutritious breakfast with omelette and hash browns we went back on the trail. We hit the "100 mile wilderness" today - a stretch where there is no possibility to resupply because there are no road crossings. Besides that it's mainly just Maine: Roots, rocks and rain. The resupply didn't make much of a difference for us as we were almost always carrying supplies for about five days since the beginning. But we simplified our menus now until Kathadin and just have "Ramen bombs" for lunch AND dinner. Which means that we are carrying around 35 packages of ramen soup and 12 packages of mashed potatoes :) Yummy :D
In the afternoon we encountered what "mixed weather" means in Maine when we got into an hail storm. It really hit us by surprise because it wasn't that cold and there were only a bit of sprinkles during the day. Luckily it didn't last long but I was already soaked wet again and started freezing. As Julia wasn't feeling well we set up our tent at the next opportunity. I wasn't able to get warm and feared to get sick.
We took a nap which extended to the night and next morning, we didn't even eat anything for dinner.Read more
