Majestic Maine Mountains

The trail unfortunately turned out not well marked at all. We completely missed the turn, therefore never making it to the loop and the Lower Falls.
Perhaps it was for the best - many reviews mention that descending is somewhat treacherous even as the trail rated as Easy/Moderate.
We mainly are focusing on getting back in shape and for Laurie to get used to walk with a 20L backpack.
...so we came to the end of the path we were on and hit these little rapids.
Moving a little bit to the right, we could see the plunge of the falls... but that was it 😒
Nature is still beautiful, though 😍

When we made it back to the car, we also walked the service road, pretty much flat and open canopy. The mosquitoes were very happy to see us. Even as we liberally sprayed ourselves with repellant, they never completely left us (but the assault was not as brutal as yesterday).
IMHO, these suckers (pun intended) are fully u-t-d on their vaccines and are not afraid of the repellent 😁🥲Okumaya devam et
