Summary

Miles: 2,076.2 — Erin drove us to the airport where my dad flew up in his small plane to bring us home. Between motion sickness and Giardia, I was wrecked by the time we landed. The next few days were all about rest, antibiotics, showers, and wedding prep for my sister Sarah. When the celebrations were over and I was finally feeling human again, Mom and Dad drove us all the way back to Monson to start the Hundred Mile Wilderness — for real this time.

The next day my sister drove us to the airport. My dad, a recreational pilot, flew up from our local airport to get us. We put our packs in trash bags so they wouldn’t smell up the small plane. It was a hot and sunny day. Dad flew us back to Fryeburg. I was so sick by the time we got there. Motion sick and Giardia sick. It was a rough day. When we got home I went straight to bed and cuddled my cat, Bonnie.

Over the next couple of days we rested, ate as much town food as possible, showered every day, and hung out around the house. I helped Sarah set up for her wedding. Went to the wedding and the reception and the party. When it was all over and I was almost done with my antibiotics, Mom and Dad drove us all the way back to Monson to start the Hundred Mile Wilderness again.
