July 1, 2010; R&R in Monson

Arrived in Monson at the end of the "wilderness" on Wednesday after hiking about 10 miles and met up with my trail friends again. We were separated on Tuesday because we all made different itineraries for how far we would hike and where we would stay. The hiking was pretty easy compared to the previous few days. I did about 10 miles on Tuesday as well. I stayed in a hostal last night here in Monson for free by doing 3 hours of work today for them. I also did my laundry and showered, nice to feel like a human again. Since Monson isn't very large, and a population of about 666 people (there's a scary number), we had to travel to Greenville to get supplies at the store. I picked up about 7 days worth of supplies. I'll probably leave in a little bit and hike a few miles up the trail and sleep somewhere off the trail tonight.

Here's a aerial picture of Monson, you can click on the picture to enlarge it.

Here's another map for tracking my progress. It actually shows Monson on it.
