We start the hike on 2102 miles this morning, so we are now counting down with less than 70 miles to go. It's hard to believe. It was a freezing night last night - glad that we are nearly out of the forest as the seasons change, as the temperatures are too cold for us.
We do 3 climbs in quick succession. The final climb to White Cape Mt provides us with our first view of Mt Katahdin in the distance. It looks magical, pale blue in the misty haze on the horizon. What a landscape.
There is a very long descent to a river which we have to cross on steppping stones. My walking pole gets stuck in between rocks and I lose my balance and plunge in to the water with both boots getting submerged. This is all captured on video by Stickbuilt.
We camp by the pond - a lovely camp - sun, no wind, beautiful reflections, and great sunset lighting on the trees surrounding the pond. We eat dinner on the sand. A French guy camps with us at the campsite.
