Day 15 - Pancakes (16/7/2016)

I planned to do 12 miles today, but while resupplying in Caratunk, Stephanie and I stumbled across the AT board game. Obviously we had to play a round before heading out, so instead of 12 we did 3 miles. The short day turned out to come with 2 blessings:

1. We found a little side camp near the next shelter that offered 12 pancakes with blueberries,apples, and raspberries for $9, so w booked in for the morning.
2. We met a terrific pair of hikers. A woman who had just lost her mother who was doing a memorial hike with her 11 year old son. 

While booking in for pancakes we had a nice chat with the camp owner and watched dozens of hummingbirds buzz around the balcony. 

We've had a great dinner with mother and son while discussing her and her mother's life. Then all of us went to the water and quietly contemplated life as the sun set over the pond.

A beautiful end to a leisurely day.
