Made it to Stratton, Rangley next

Sunrise

Sunrise this morning.

Getting to town, while blogging we are doing laundry and sharing a gas station pizza. 

The Bigelo Mountains were impressive and we hit another milestone. Mile 2000.

Updating my hiking album now that we are in Stratton, Maine. Doing a Nero at seven miles.

The shelters were neat. The ranger in the area for the summer was the only person fishing the fully stocked lake nearby.

Squirrel warning in French
The shelters. We got there after rain improved the smell

I was told that without rain the area around the shelters starts to smell.

Yes. Dual privies on the hill
Lake with lots of fish even after a summer of fishing

We walked out of Caratunk, took the canoe ferry and headed towards the Bigelow mountains. We did 17 miles that day and stopped at the West Carry Pond Lean-to. The Church of the Brethren has canoed over for a youth camp out. They were good people and interesting to interact with — but they do dress funny.
