DAY 9 — Tuesday, Sep 5, 2023
Today’s walk covered 13.3 mi (21.3 km) from Way Marker 8 to 9 all on highway route #14 with essentially no shoulder. All the oncoming traffic, however, courteously veered away as far as possible. I was never far from the ocean and the oncoming breeze kept the mosquitoes from landing on me—no spray needed.
The surprise of the day came at the 8.6 mi mark as I arrived at the Stompin Tom Centre and had a great seafood chowder even with bits of lobster and listened to live country and western music—an outstanding break.
Kim picked me up at Way Mark 9 for my second of five stays at the Kildare Lodge, again as the only guest tonight.
