The trail today was great. It was very gradual and had minimal rocks
and roots. It was close to the easiest terrain that the AT offers.
And, it passed by a number of really nice ponds. And yet, I did a
short day.
I had to stop at Pierce Pond because of the famous pancakes tomorrow
morning and because of the timing of the Kennebec ferry. So, it was a
forced short day. The next two days will be longer though.
When I got to the shelter, I set up my hammock directly next to the
pond. Then, I went swimming for a few minutes. After that, a few of
us walked over to Harrison's Camp to let them know we will be coming
for breakfast and to fill up our water bottles with "wicked good
water". I saw the falls and the tons of hummingbirds at the feeders
right outside the cabin.
I returned to camp, made dinner, chatted with the thruhikers and past
thruhikers about places along the trail, and then am going to bed
early. Mmm, I can't wait for pancakes.
