Day 35 (July 29)

The rain of last night quit by morning, but it was pretty cold -- in the 50s. A mouse chewed the bite valve on my camelback water bladder during the night. Guess the critter didn't want to filter any rain water. Weather straightened out about 11:00 a.m. Went about 13 miles. Climbed Lone Mt., Spaulding Mt., and Sugarloaf Mt. The last one, Sugarloaf, had a tough downhill -- very steep and rocky. Had to ford two rivers (Orbeton and Carrabassett) today as well. Fun. Tenting again tonight by the Carrabassett. Nice sound. Short day tomorrow. Going in to resupply at Stratton, Maine. Take care.
