Day 11

June 14, 2009

Today finds me continuing south on Route 11, escorted by multitudinous amounts of black flies.
Oh, how I love these guys!
I found some temporary relief at the Grindstone Falls Rest Area but, alas, I must keep going.
At long last, I finally manage to stumble upon a campground. Unfortunately, they want money and they have no wireless hookup so I can't justify it.
I've managed to figure out that if I'm going to have to pay for food or shelter, it's only worth it if I can get on-line.
So instead, I decide to push on for 4 more miles into the town of Medway to see what awaits me there. Of course, what's four miles without a torrential downpour?
I spot Aeries, a cozy little restaurant, and duck into it to get out of the rain for a bit and scarf down a plate of tasty food.
They direct me down the road to the Katahdin Shadows Motel where I find a good excuse to stay the night in Room #106. They have wireless, but it's only accessible in the 'kitchen' area.
That's good enough for me!
Now, it's off to take a shower and get caught up on some sleep.
