Day 3 Started out tired but early. Peter, Dom. and I hiked a lot of the first stretch together ‘til Rainbow Lake. We were so hot that getting in the water was heavenly. Beautiful lake. Should have taken a picture.
I did, however, get a picture of the lake when I hiked the 100 Mile Wilderness with my dad in 2006.
It was harsh getting to Rainbow campsite so I napped and ate Ramen and drank Tang. That helped incredibly! The last 4 miles were much easier.
The hare in this picture wasn't as scary as it looks above with its glowing eyeball. What was scarier was how rough these trails were. Look at all the roots. This would end up being a "dream" section of the trail too, being mostly flat and straight.
Lots of mud and mosquitoes and roots. Deet rules. Slowride, Peter, and Dom., and all made it to Rainbow Stream Lean-to. It is beautiful with the stream running in front, lots of sitting room, and hopefully not as many mosquitoes (??).
