100 mile wilderness

- -

-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. -
