Long Pond Stream Lean To to Carl Newhall Lean To
Planning for today included getting to the end of day target before the rains from Hurricane Earl show up. This was a semi-tough task given the fact that the Barren-Chairback Range was in the way. I hiked the whole day with Tabasco and we did great time all day and did well with the elevation gains and drops we hit all day. There were some good views along the way and even cell phone reception to call home to get a weather update. We made it to the shelter just in time to grab the last two spots and not lose them out to the group frm Colby College that was in the area. The highlight of the day was the trail magic of homemade whoopie pies and soda we ran into near the Pleasant River. Looks like the rain is about to start so time to get bunkered down to stay dry for the night.
Heading over our last big mountain before Katahdin tomorrow, Whitecap Mountain, and hopefully the rocks are not too slippery and the ascent/descent are not too miserable. 4 more days to get to the base of Katahdin.
More days to come, new places to go, I've got to leave its time for a show.
