Rain today (and tomorrow) persuaded me to come into Millinocket early, staying at the AT Lodge. Seeing lots of folks here who got ahead of me as I slowed down the last two days when temperatures soared into the high 70's. Took baths in lovely lakes, but the reappearance of mosquitos was a major nuisance.
Tomorrow I will go back and do the easy flat 10 mile hike into Baxter State Park and return to this hostel. Then summit on Wednesday, the 5 very difficult miles up Katahdin when the sun returns.
Here are some pictures from the wilderness. You meet all sorts of people on the trail, among them" Astro Guy" Guy Gardner, space shuttle pilot on missions in 1988 and 1990, standing with Sue our shuttle driver out of Monson, as well as Catfish.
Screw Auger falls in Gulf Hagas
A Spruce grouse, too stupid to be afraid
Distant view of Katahdin
Another closer one
Old style privy, "Fort Relief"
Blueberries still edible on Rainbow Ledges
Big bull moose
