Day 173 - 20th Sept - White House Landing - Rainbow Stream Lean To - 15.8 miles

We eat a wonderful breakfast cooked by Bill, seated at the table with the sun pouring in through the window, with a wonderful lake view. Eggs, bacon, muffins, and blueberry pancakes. We stuff ourselves as per usual. We have saved the left over pizza from last night for our lunch today, and Linda packs it up for us to carry.

Bill takes us right along the lake to save us having to retrace the 1 mile detour. The hiking is great today and we have lunch on a sandy beach out of the wind. We experience our second viewing of Mt Katahdin from Nesuntabunt Mt summit. We see no other walkers until we reach the shelter, as Uncas and Hat-trick have walked ahead of us.

The last 4 miles follows up a mountain stream with rapids - great walking to the shelter. We arrive at 6pm and there are 3 hikers in the shelter. We set up camp on the hill above the shelter.
