Our last day in the 100-mile wilderness. We took our time and enjoyed the trail.
At Rainbow Lake, we stopped for a break. As we were leaving, a sea plane landed in the lake.
Our only climb of the day was up to Rainbow Ledges. The trail and stream were one. We zigged and zagged up, but it was worth it. Our first view of Katahdin.
We stopped at Hurd Brook Lean-To for a long lunch since we have extra food. Spam, tortillas, taco rice and French fried onions. One of our better lunch combination.
The bog bridges signified half a mile to go, and before we knew it we were spit out onto Golden Road--a logging road named this because it cost so much to build.
We crossed Abol Bridge over the Penobscot River and saw another magnificent view of Katahdin. A thunderstorm was approaching which made the scene more enchanting.
We waited out the storm in the Abol Bridge Campstore. As the rain let up we ventured across the street to the Abol Pines Campground for the night.
Almost there--So awesome!
