Day 50 (August 13)

Today was another zero day, i.e. no miles. I and two other thru-hikers rafted the Penobscot River, a level four to five rapids river. We had a blast! Two guys fell out, one in the first 30 seconds. I threw up after running the first rapids but settled in after that. I bought photos and a video of the trip taken by the rafting company. They are terrific. It is raining heavily tonight and supposed to rain tomorrow for the last, 10-mile hike to the campground at the base of Katahdin. I'm hoping the weather allows for a summit on Friday. Another great day on the AT. Take care.
