Caratunk, ME

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

Or at least it was yesterday. And it's supposed to be beautiful tomorrow.

Today: rain. And wind.

But they make us appreciate the sun! And yesterday was probably one of the prettiest days in Maine that we've experienced. Up at 5am (sort of), hiking by 6:45am, and 14 miles by 3pm in order to catch the canoe-ferry across the Kennebunk river. We figured that we could blitz it, catch the canoe before the 4pm daily deadline, get a quick hitch into town, resupply, and run for it and maybe get another four miles in for the day.

But we stopped for burgers. And kept stopping. And just couldn't help ourselves staying overnight at this great place with great burgers and great on-site microbrews, and a great hot tub to which they serve the aforementioned great microbrews. It was great.

And today it's raining. With strong storm warnings. Hmm.

We're currently discussing the enjoyment of hiking & putting up in the rain.

Oops. Looks like we're zeroing today! Peer pressure is amazing. But we've all promised not to let each other run up a hot-tub-bar tab like last night's.

It'll be great!
