9/10 Harrison Camp

Staying at a campsite tonight just short of the Kennebec River crossing. The river is dam controlled, but the water is released based on demand for electricity, not on a schedule. A hiker died recently fording the river ( there is no bridge) so the official 'trail' is via canoe across. There is even a white blaze on the floor of the canoe for us to 'follow'.

The terrain here changed dramatically today, as soon as we came out of the Bigelow Range it was very flat. Most of the rest of the hike will be easy walking compared to southern Maine. I for one am glad!
I got stung by a bee today on my left calf. I didn't think much of it (after the initial pain) until I took my shoe off this evening and my ankle was all swollen up. Could 'bee' a short day tomorrow!
