Litchfield Beach, South Carolina won't be the only white, sandy beach that we visit this summer. The AT through Maine offers some great swimming along the ponds. From the air, and I guess from the right height in Google Earth, you can see just how much water there is throughout the truly vast forests in northern Maine. The day before this hike, we took a swim with half a dozen loons. Unfortunately, we have to skip this nice sandy beach on East Carry Pond to continue to the next lean-to and get our tent pitched. Later that night, we heard the loons on West Carry Pond calling to each other in otherworldly clarion songs.
Then, we heard the thunderstorm beating down on our tent for several hours. We were dry, and continued southbound the next morning.
