13 Aug - Rainbow Stream Lean-to

Another glorious hiking day.  Low 70s.

Ponds, lakes, streams,  small waterfalls, and a gorge - all in today's hike.  We hiked 16 miles today,  starting with a climb up a small mountain for a view of Katahdin.  When I took the picture, I was 16 miles away from Katahdin.  To get there on the AT, we will have to hike 36 miles. 

The lakes are beautiful and some have sand beaches.  We lost Poppins on one as he went for a swim and found some fresh water mussels that he was going to cook for lunch.

This might be our last night in a shelter.  This one has the old style "baseball bat floor" made of round logs laid side by side.  Not very comfortable sleeping.

30 miles left to go. . . .
