Today was an easy camper haul for me. Under 20 miles! I got all set up and went to do some exploring in Bucksport. Wasn't there too long when I got a text from Annelle that she had missed a turn and was way off route. We figured a pick-up spot that would be in a couple of hours so she'd make 30 miles.
Another beautiful day. I don't think it ever got to 70. The KOA here is, again, lovely. The nice host gave me some alternate people if I needed anything as she was subbing for a guy up the road who was getting married today! And she was also awaiting the birth of her first grand baby any minute.
Annelle found a yellow jacket in her shoe when she was changing from her riding shoes into her regular shoes and her foot doesn't look so great. I went up the road to get some baking soda and lidocaine, and with ice and elevation we are hoping she can ride tomorrow. She is wearing my flip-flops as she can't get into her shoes (crocs) without pain.
On the way back from Rite Aid I saw a young couple who are riding self-supported from Bangor to Boston. They are tent camped a few sites away from us. Youth. I did see around 50 riders on US 1 near our campground, obviously following some of the trail. Many looked self-supported. Panniers, bags, etc.
One last night of the Mexican leftovers and I will have to cook tomorrow. Or, since we will be in Damariscotta, maybe we'll hit the King Eider Pub! Plan the next 2 nights there, then to North Yarmouth.
P.S. I am grateful for all the waterways, lakes and ponds I get to cross every day. Some are tiny, some dark and shoaly, some massive and serene. They all look inviting.
