Another day of hiking. Today we hiked over three miles straight up a ski slope [double black-diamond]. At the top we had one of the best views east of the Mississippi. Although it was a measly 1,990 feet in elevation, it was quite the challenge [especially in crocs...].
Due to it being the first week of musket season, we had to all sport some cool bright orange vests to avoid being mistaken for a deer or moose. As usual, the kids kicked our butts reaching the summit. Special thanks to the Shutty family for hosting us in Greenwood, Maine [birthplace of L.L.Bean]. Last year we camped with the Shutty family in Steamboat, Colorado, and our kids really hit it off well. Here in Maine, they worked/played together to create a cool 'village' in the woods. They were literally in the woods all day! Tomorrow we we're going to head further east, but our legs and calves say otherwise... Another day in Maine, then west to New Hampshire.
