Our second last day on the trail before we climb Mt Katahdin. It is an easy cruising walk and we only have two small bumps to climb. We do not see any other hikers, and arrange at Abol Bridge early. We eat microwaved burgers from the log cabin store at the camping ground. The pinnacle of plasticity in American culture and we stuff it down regardless. I hate to think how many preservatives and other crap must be in this food, so I don't think about it, and just eat it, and enjoy it too!!
There is a problem bear in the vicinity. The campsite we select is the furthest away from the store, and last night the people camping on this site ending up sleeping in their car, because they had a visit from the bear. We have not met a 'problem bear' yet, but we are apprehensive. We take all our food bags, and our toothpaste to the store to be locked into the building for the night. Our campsite has no food smells to attract the bear.
There are coin in the slot showers - they are hot but there are no towells and no soap. They obviously don't have many thru hikers stop here. I scrounge the showers and find an old scrap of soap which the three of us share.
