Heaven (part 3)

Typical of thru-hikers, no one "zeroed" at Upper Goose, even though it was paradise. The walk out looked easy on the map, but it turned out to be rocky, buggy, and we walked slower than expected. So rather than push further to the next shelter, 7 more miles, we stopped after 11 at the "Cookie Lady". A wonderful couple with a blueberry farm allows hikers to camp for chores. The fed us chocolate chip cookies and we bought soda and ordered pizza and hung out with a couple of hiker friends. Great eating, cameraderie and a sound sleep, before our heavenly streak was to end.
