Horns Pond Lean-to |
He's at the Horns Pond Lean-to this evening. In Maine the shelters are called lean-to's. Four hikers came in after him and he was pleased to see he had met them all before. The first one that saw him, Shaky, said, Granddad! You must have really turned on the after burners! He got a good laugh out of that. Freight Train and Plan B were two of the hikers and Dave couldn't remember the name of the 4th when he was talking to me.

Dave said he'd like to keep hiking with them, but their plan sounds more ambitious than his. He said he can already see that the trail is getting a little easier. He still had some steep ascents and descents, but they were not as bad as what he's been through in the last couple weeks. He can see the trail levels out for a while. He had great weather today and was in very good spirits.
