July 26
136.5 down, 23049.4 to go
No sign of Karma after leaving Monson, but just as we were dropped off onto the trailhead, who do we see coming off the trail? Karma! We were able to chat with her before the people from Shaw's turned back around to pick her up.
After leaving Monson, we made a quick 9 miles to Horseshoe Canyon. We had a great fire and NotYet even cleaned around the Lean To he was so bored! Last night we talked with Isaac and MountainCity, who was completing the AT after being on the trail for 11 years, a little bit each summer. We talked abourt marriage being a lot like the AT, with its ups and downs. MountainCity has been married for 43 years. He gave us Lifesavers, which were a treat on the trail the next day! We also met Sunshine and Sunrise, a Brazillian woman and her fiance, who had started NoBo but switched because of bad weather in the South. This morning we got going around 7:30, making great time. (We are getting better and better at getting out of camp in the mornings!) We had a 9 mile climb up Moxie Bald Mountain. It was eerie at the top, because it was a cloudy day and we were in the clouds, but a great experience. We made it to Bald Moxie Pond Lean To and talked with Unitic, a fellow SoBo who has Lyme Disease, after being bit by some tics a few years ago. A lot of NoBos, since it's raining.
