Blissful wraps up her hike of the Appalachian Trail in Maine to head home for cancer treatment.
- The two days between Monson and Caratunk are rain-free and magical with a winter wren, hermit thrush, northern parula plus warty frogs and a curious snake.
- It's two big mountains with views including Moxie Bald and Pleasant Pond with glorious views of humpy green forested peaks like emerging leviathan in an even more expansive sea of green.
- Camping is near a pond circled by summer homes and loud pontoon boats, only a few miles out of Caratunk.
- Blissful meets a cancer survivor finishing the Appalachian Trail and is empowered by her healing and moxie to get right back on trail.
- Then she heads home for a new and scary adventure.
MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
