+title: 100 mile wilderness
+start: 2010
+end: 2010
+
+<p>
+In the summer of 2010, the summer between Blaise's Junior and Senior year at Bates, Blaise attempted to hike the 100 mile wilderness.
+Blaise's companions were Mike Dorfman (Blaise's summer roomate at Bates) and Mike's cousin.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We drove up and slept the night before in a hikers hostel.
+They dropped us off on the side of the road, and we began hiking.
+It was amazing that, as we walked away from the pavement, the sounds of cars and civilization quieted down to absolutely nothing.
+It was so exciting to think that we would not cross pavement again for the next 100 miles.

+The wilderness was verdant and dense.
+We hiked through thick forest.

+We submitted many small mountains, with rocky tops, lichen, and good views.
+Sometimes a single days hike would involve climbing and descending multiple peaks.

+Often-times, the decent from each mountain was the hardest part.
+We were forced to proceed slowly.

+We also crossed rivers, streams, and swamps.
+Most of the time there were no bridges.

+Unfortunately, about half way through the hike, Blaise badly hurt his left knee while bending down to go under a fallen tree.
+We needed to evacuate ASAP.
+Mike and his cousin helped Blaise limp to the nearest logging road, and we hitch-hiked out of the wilderness in the back of logging trucks.
+The first loggers to pick us up had very few teeth, and were very hard to understand due to their thick accents.
+</p>
+

+After recovering in the hostel for one night, Blaise had nowhere to go.
+Bates was closed, and Blaise's parents were not to arrive for a while yet.
+So Mike dropped Blaise off at a nearby national forest where Blaise camped for several days until his parents arrived.
