I heard from Mom last night, she was at a hostel in Andover, Maine. She is still in good spirits, but the hiking has not gotten any easier. She said that it has been more like rock climbing than hiking, the picture is of Old Blue Mountain and just a few of the many thousands of boulders she has been encountering. The winds have not died down at all and she has had to be VERY careful lately not to get blown right off the side of the rock face. (Be careful Mom) It is getting very cold at night and for those of you who really know Mom she is ALWAYS cold. I guess between wearing all the clothes she has with her, the new coat, and the sleeping bag she has been getting through it just fine. She is fast approaching the 100 Mile Woods and before we know it she will be at Mount Katahdin. Only 2 more food drops...seems unreal...
