...wow, and I thought yesterday was hilly!

Today was FULL of large hills.   We also were dealing with a painful knee, irritated skin, and tired bodies.  

We ate a hearty breakfast and headed out.   Dad had his compression sleeve on to start the day, he also rubbed tiger balm and took some pills to help.   We made it to Ft. Knox and the Penobscot observation bridge.  

Dad was really struggling and we thought he may call it quits, but he found a way to ride that didn't hurt.   We made it to Ellsworth and ate lunch and stopped at the Walmart for a knee brace.   We then headed on the hard hilly trek to Mount Desert island.   WOW!   I had been hauling SCHLEPP and this was rough.   I didn't walk but I wanted to.   We arrived early enough to hang out and for mom and dad to eat some lobs tag. We stay for two nights.   Everyone needs to rest.

Mom kicking butt up the hills!  So proud of her!
