To Maine

Friday 6/29 Day 70
Today was a difficult day to start off. My brain was not wanting to continue, it thought it was all done with the trip. But i only had about 95 miles till the coast and about 130 miles till I was done. Thankfully I had really mellow riding. I was able to take several breaks and enjoy a few lakes on the way to Maine. I also stopped for a Large Blizzard ice cream before I got to where I was staying tonight. I am going to miss eating so much food, sadly I wont be able to eat this much in a couple of days.
I was able to stay with one last warm showers on my last day, Karren and her husband. We had a lovely dinner outside. I was also informed that I was only six miles from the coast that night. But I was going to hold out till I could make it to my finishing spot tomorrow. After dinner Karren and I plotted out my final day's route and were able to get a map also.
It was a bitter sweet feeling on the eve of my last day. Proud emotions for what I have accomplished, yet sad that it was coming to an end. All I could think about was that walk across the beach to finally touch the Pacific and what that was going to mean for me.
