Days 180-192 September 27-October 9 Monson, Maine, and the 100-Mile Wilderness to Mt. Katahdin, Maine Day 180 Monson, Maine, to Cloud Pond I had made it to a trailhead just outside of Monson, just before it started to rain, and just in time to catch a shuttle into town. I stayed at Leapin Leana's that night. It was still raining hard in the morning, and I decided to spend a second night in town. I moved over to Shaw's Hostel the following day. Shaw's is both a Hostel and an Outfitter. I purchased food for my push through the 100-Mile wilderness. I made a quick supply inventory as I was packing and discovered that I had forgotten to buy coffee. I went back to the Outfitter, bought coffee, and made arrangements for a food drop at the 50-mile point of the 100-Mile Wilderness. There is an old logging/fire road that intersects the AT at that spot. Shaw's provides a food drop at this location, for a fee of course. Today I began hiking the 100-Mile Wilderness.
