Another terrific day on the AT. Beautiful hiking weather in the 100-mile wilderness. I went 18 miles from Potaywadjo Spring lean-to to Rainbow Stream lean-to. Got two nice swims in on lake Nahmakanta. The trail followed the south side of the lake for about six miles. Beautiful. The trail went about 100 yards right along a sandy beach. The only tough climb was Nesuntabunt Mountain: bit of a kicker. At this campsite along Pollywog stream is an excellent natural swimming pool with a cascade of water feeding it. Perfect temperature water.
The Penobscot Tribe is the dominant tribe in the region. Thus the native names for points of interest. Thirty miles to Katahdin from here.
