Was the first one out of camp. Got going at 6:30. I had some solid miles to do to make up from sleezy yesterday. It was a nice foggy morning that cleared up into a sunny day. A mile out of camp, I ran into a moose just hanging out and eating. I kept swapping out my socks whenever they dried, because it was impossible to dodge the mud holes. Had an amazing view at Saddleback MTN. After that I kept contemplating if I had enough food. I’m almost positive I did, but running into Rangely sounded toooo good. I figured I would try to hitch into town for only one minute. If I got a ride awesome, if not NBD, I would enjoy Gorham NH even more. Within fifteen seconds a car came around the corner and picked me up. He was a really nice older big border patrol guy. Got all the way to the IGA. Picked up chocolate milk, frosted flakes, and cookies. I didn’t want any extra garbage on me, so I sat outside and ate the whole box of cereal. Went back to the trail to complete my 25 mile day. I made it all the way to Sabbath Lean-to. It was dark by the time I showed up. Set up quickly and passed out.
