Blissful makes it out of the 100 Mile Wilderness and receives a call from her doctor calling her home to have a bilateral mastectomy.

1. It's wet and muddy but mostly road out to Monson, Maine, the first town in ten days.
2. She has to go home, but not immediately, and can head back on trail for at least a few more days. 
3. And it's perfect timing in sunny weather at last and a long reroute around flooded rivers. 
4. But it's a gorgeous hike through forest loud with birds and frogs. 
5. And it takes her to lovely Moxie Bald Pond where the forest creatures enchant her even when distressed by her cancer diagnosis and the fact that she'll have to go home.

MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala  as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
