Home again - Fort Kent and Beyond

Thanks for following our blog and trip.  We arrived in Fort Kent on Saturday afternoon the 6th of July. We were early, so our greeting party was not there.  It was a cold day on the water, and as we pulled ashore, the wind ripped across the river and into Fort Kent and nearly blew the canoe off my head as we did our final Portage to the Northern Door Inn.

The trip was both challenging and fulfilling in many ways.  I am still absorbing and processing what it meant to me and will mean to both of us in years to come.  There is no denying the dissapointment of not completing the entire trail, but for me that was a superficial goal overall as spending that time with Ben on the trail and working through the challenges and experiences together was what I really wanted, and why we went back out on the trail after the incident in Saranac.

I will piece photos and story elements together over the coming weeks to share our experience with others and as a way to continue it for myself.
