Four nights in Baxter, 7/1-7/5

[blaze]

Friday 7/1: Roaring Brook, leanto #6. Saturday 7/2: Wassataquoik Stream, leanto #2. Sunday and Monday 7/3 and 7/4: Russell Pond, leanto #2.

Bugs, mud, wildflowers, and wildlife all in abundance after a wet spring.

Here are a few photos:

I took 400+ photos, but have whittled it down to just over 100 - see the rest here.

Thanks to my son Ethan for a fantastic Independence Day weekend. It hardly seems possible that we last backpacked in Baxter together in 2006. Let's not wait another five years to do it again.

Must be because you are a fellow Piscean

Jealous! Looks like you took the time to see some of the 'other' sights in the park besides Katahdin. Great photos
