It has been extremely hot, so I began my run a little after 9:30 pm on Thursday night. I ran the route starting in Eastport and proceeded counter clockwise. The first 30 miles went quite well but miles 31 - 38 were definitely a struggle. I carried with me, two soft flasks with befree filter caps to grab water from the lake where I could, and I cached jugs of water where the route veered too far from water sources. It was really a beautiful night with a moon so bright i only needed a headlamp below trees. I recommend this route highly.
