Mustang Sally-July 9, 2008

July 9th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized
Hi Everyone: Well after many Greyhound bus miles I arrived in Bangor yesterday evening or nite really.  Got a room at Motel 6(fifty dollars for a Motel 6, can you believe it!!!)  Stayed there til 11am and then walked about a mile to the airport where I caught a local bus to downtown Bangor.  What a nice downtown, very attractive and lots of local businesses.  Nice library too!  Had a mango ice tea at one of the local restaurants. 

Will be catching a bus again this evening to Medway where I will stay the nite.  Then I will hitch a ride of 17 miles to Baxter State Part.  Hopefully I will hike the mountain Thursday.  Then I will follow the blazes home. 

It’s a beautiful day here in Bangor.  About 90 degrees. 

Got to see Boston again.  What a city!!  The construction of the new highway system is completed and it looks great.  The bus and train station are next to each other in Boston so I went over to the train station to eat.  They have many more selections to choose from than the bus station.

Watched the people go by.  You can see people from all corners of the world.  All different languages being spoken.  It was nice to be back in a big city. 

It will probably be about 12 days or so before the next newsletter.  I will be going thru the wilderness after leaving Baxter State Park.  My pack is the heaviest it’s been because I had to pack ten days of food.  Will have to eat the heavy stuff first (Smile). 

That’s about all folks.  Will say goodbye and go out and get an ice cream cone.  Until next time: 

I remain your AT thru hiker,

Mustang Sally
