September 3. Moxi Pond 231.9 miles to go

Honey made us eggs, sausage, cantelope, and blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Then she told us the story about how they met Earl Shaffer when he hiked the trail at the age of 79. They adopted him and took him food. They set up the CBS story with him and they became very good friends.

Honeys brother, Bob Cummings, played a large roll in having the AT pass through the peaks of Maine rather than the valleys. When I Mentioned to Honey that I noticed there are no switchbacks, she told me that Yankees believe if you are going up a mountain there is no point in messing around. I could of listen to Honey for days.

Amazing views today. Came across Hwy 17 and a view of Mooselauk........ Would love to come back someday and spend time in this water. Seeing the beginning signs of fall. Can't help but think back of so many memories with the kids getting ready for school. Lots of pine trees. Terrain has eased up for now.

Getting up early tomorrow to look for moose on the pond at sunrise.
