I started doing this where I set up my alarm slightly earlier every day. Today I was rolling at 5:25 am. The morning stretch consisted of 7.5 miles along Nahmakanta Stream, then adjacent to the giant Lake Nahmakanta, and then to the Nestabunt mountain. I had a long breakfast break at the top where there were some star views. That place was also my highest elevation point for the day.

Leaving Nesuntabunt (excellent names today), I went down to Crescent Pond, I wrapped it and then began to Pollywog Stream. At some point, the path left that and joined with Rainbow Stream. I had been looking at a place later for lunch, but when I saw a small swimming hole, I took an early break there. However, however, however, I kept it short.

Rainbow Stream became a series of ponds and streams, all linked, which seemed to be draining the powerful Rainbow lake. Somewhere along this section I came across Baby Talk and walked and talked for a while. When I stopped to filter from the lake, she kept sailing, but we jumped the rest of the day.

Quite damn is today

Lake Rainbow

I had an orderly encounter with a black bear today! Walking around a curve, I surprised the bear when I was quite close. Immediately, like the other bears in the AT I have seen, it took off in the opposite direction. This, however, stopped. He stopped allowing me to get my phone and then turned around. A very beautiful animal …

At the end of the afternoon, there was another climb to the hairs of the rainbow, although nothing too strenuous. It was a good part of the path with a great -sided -formed mother -in -law moss path formed there.

My daily sighting of Katahdin … approaching!

I decided to try to spend the last refuge and wait for a place to disperse the camp. Seeing something that would work, I took it even though it was still about 3 miles from Abol Bridge and the ranger station that I need to visit tomorrow morning. I plan try to get up early and see if I can book a specific camp inside the Baxter State Park. I think there are only 12 places available and there are rumors through the application that have been filling early. So, that’s why all this strategy is needed.

It is such an incredible privilege to be on this trip backpacking in the east of the United States and I have a lot of gratitude for the opportunity. While impulse to finish the path of the Apalaches, I am also making an impulse to achieve my goal when raising funds for Outdoor empowered network (OEN)! I am trying to raise $ 2 for each mile that I walk and I am staying behind! Any amount helps … $ 2, $ 5, etc. Everything adds

The sad reality is that many never get to know the benefits of connecting with nature. I want others to experience this relationship that has been so important in my life. Imagine a child who is amazed at a bright and colorful butterfly, laughing at a frog jumping from them, curious why the leaves change the colors with the season. When donating, these are the things you would do that happen!

So thanks for joining the trip! It means a lot that you took the time to read these adventures. And if you want to help all children get access to the outdoor, help me support OEN! The «Council author» button is a direct link to my fund collection page. You are all really incredible. Thank you!
