September 9, Full Goose Shelter - mile 1891.6

Samwise crosses into MAINE! Click for full image.

Praise the Lord! I'm in Maine! And every bone in my body hurts, in sync with the NOBO saying "no rain, no pain, no Maine." If ever before I have complained about some section of trail that went "straight up and down" the mountains, I take it all back. Maine invented straight ups and downs and there's nothing in between.

There's not much else to say...I'm tired and I hurt but I'm so happy to be in Maine - FINALLY! I felt like New Hampshire lasted a million years!
