Day 6
48.89 miles, 2548 feet elevation gain
We crank it out of the Motel bright and early, anticipating final day of the trip. We stop along the way to pick blueberries and in various towns for cold drinks.
It seems to be taking forever to reach the sign to the beginning of the trail in Gouldsboro
We think it's just a quick jaunt to Winter Harbor but nooo, we have to battle a few sizable hills before we get there. As a celebration we stop at a local seafood store where they have a steamer. We buy 4 steamed lobsters and devour them at a nice picnic table to celebrate the end of the trip.
I forgot to mention that one reason for trying to finish today was the forecast for a remnant of a hurricane hitting Maine tonight. We hop into a car and head home. We almost make it. The downpour starts about 15 minutes before we reach our house.
The trip is done. In 2 days we head out again - this time hiking Mt. Katahdin.
