18-08-15 Shaws to Caratunk House two days on the trail

Well I took off from Shaws on Aug 16 and headed south the rest day made my knee feel some better. I tried to stretch my Merrells to fix them and try to stop them from cutting off my big toe.

Between Caratunk and Monson there are two mountains Moxie bald and Pleasant Pond Mountain. Stayed

On the 16 th I hiked to a stealth site Just before bald mountain rd 10 or twelve miles Knee is still bothering me.

Topped Moxie bald and then to Pleasant Pond lean-to. Getting to the top of Pleasant Pond mountain I slipped and twisted my left Knee more and it was swollen by the time I got to the top I was pretty crippled and in serious pain. I realized that I was going to have to stop too soon and would not get to Caratunk in time for the Post Office. I called the Caratunk house to see if they could pick it up. Paul the owner of the Caratunk house had a better Idea. He had one of his people pick me up the next morning at Pleasant Pond lean-to.

I got a view at Pleasant Pond mountain.
