100 miles to Katahdin

The last 100 miles of trail in Maine (the famed Wilderness) went quickly. I had hiked the section two years ago with Liz, so I remembered a lot of the trail, and I was in between thru-hiker bubbles (hiking alone). I had excellent hiking weather, watched the loons on numerous lakes, and even saw a bear! The last night I tented on the shore of a lake and watched the sun rise over the shoulder of Katahdin. It was magical. My folks all met me in Baxter State Park, where we waited a day for good weather. In the meantime my brother and I climbed Doubletop Mountain and went swimming at the natural rock slide at Ledge Falls on Nesowadnehunk Stream. We had many moose sightings, and watched a beaver swim up the stream across the falls, within 4 feet of us!!
