Day 17, The Bigelows

July 30
183.1 down, 2002.8 to go
We woke around 5:30 and enjoyed coffee and a couple cookies we had packed from the day before for breakfast. We hiked around 13 miles today, over the Bigelows, which were quite the climb!
There is a missing hiker, Inchworm, who has been missing since last Tuesday (a week ago). She is a 66 year old woman, whose husband was waiting to pick her up off of a Maine highway. We have heard search helicopters today and yesterday and are now going into the area where she went missing. How heartbreaking it must be for her family. We are praying God will comfort them during this hard time.
Just over 5 miles into Stratton tomorrow, where our first care packages arrive, hooray! Knowing we have packages with various goodies arriving has really been keeping us going!
