Day: 162, 9/29/2013: The Birtches Shelter

10.0 miles hiked, The trail was very flat. Had to ford one stream and was able to rock-hop the other one instead of fording it. Was at The Birches early afternoon and saw a bunch of people that had summited during the day. The weather was perfect – warm, minimal wind and no clouds.

Another great shot of Katahdin from Abol campground.  About 10 miles away from the final night of camping.
