October 2, 1983: A side trail brought me to Big Niagara Falls (no, the other one). The falls were not enormous (no, that’s the other one), but they were impressive enough, and quite scenic.

A roaring stream churned through massive rock formations in a lively series of flumes and cascades between forested banks teeming with maples.

Little Niagara Falls (no...) were pretty, too, and at the top of the cascades the woods opened up for a close-up view of Katahdin. I got one of those bits of brief clearing here at just the right time, although the bottoms of the rain clouds were scudding across Baxter Peak.

After a beautiful walk past several wild ponds, I arrived at Katahdin Stream. Far across the last pond, I spotted two more moose, bringing my total for the trip up to seven. A male and a female were having a drink together before a night of passion.

It was good to see that somebody was getting some.

For some reason, the ranger had reserved for me one of the campground’s largest lean-tos.

As big as most Appalachian Trail shelters, it was almost like having one last lean-to all to myself — a fitting conclusion to this odyssey.
