Monson, ME

Got into Monson around 1 this afternoon. Its my last town stop of the trip which is pretty crazy to think about.
Its a cute little town. I'm staying at the Lake Shore House which has a hostel upstairs with Ringleader, Monkey and a few other south bounders. Its a nice little place, right on the lake, has a pub/restaurant down stairs and has paddle boats you can take out on the lake as well. Very nice relaxing setting.
Had lunch and this BBQ place down the street. It was amazing, had some of the best mac and cheese I've ever had. I know you usually don't think of BBQ when it comes to Maine but believe me, this was the real deal. Tin-tin hitched into town (he got Lyme so he hasn't been doing a lot of hiking recently) and I ran into him at the bar so I hung out with him and caught up for a bit. Other than that I did the usual town chores, laundry, shower, resupply, the usual.
But whats cool is that every Friday night at the town's general store there's a bluegrass jam session. So I went to check it out and had a lot of fun. Ended up spending about 2 hours there just listening to them play. Through out my trip I've been amazed at all the cool unique things you find in these small towns.
I'm hiking out tomorrow with 114.3 miles left. Its amazing just to think how far we've all come since GA and how little we have left.
I'll be taking my victory photo on top of Katahdin on the 14th, its unbelievable that this moment is finally here.
