September 27 - Southeast edge of Rainbow Lake (Day 192 – milepoint 2137.6)

Excellent views of Mount Katahdin today. We’re camped in a cool little spot next to Rainbow Lake. Very clear, still evening, the silence – deafening, until a sea-plane flew overhead and landed in the lake not far away. That was nice.

I’m not sure how, but the Bible ended up in my pack, which I found, along with some trash, when I unloaded my pack for the night. It’s gotten to the point now where no matter who played the prank, retaliation is aimed at Paka. Poor guy. He just needs to learn how to wipe the grin off of his face when he says, “All I try to do is be nice to you guys and make life easier for everyone.”

Only 22.8 miles to thru-hike completion.
