+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. +

+ +

+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 dropoff point.
+
+ + +The first sign indicating the entrance to the 100 mile wilderness.
+ +

+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. +

+ +

+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. +
