We leave Penobscot Mountain and set our sights on Sargent Mountain, our next destination. En route, Hannah decides
to stick her head in Sargent Mountain Pond. Hannah does things like that.
Fun fact: Sargent Mountain Pond formed nearly 17,000 years ago and is belived to be Maine's earliest lake.

Success #2 - we reach the Sargent Mountain summit, our second one of the day! While Sargent is about 200 feet higher than
Penobscot, the trail was more of a traverse than straight up, making it easier to climb. But until we finally
reached the summit we were never sure how much further we had to go. It was also slightly eerie as the rain
clouds began to move in.

We hiked down Sargent Mountain and around Jordan Pond, enjoying a view from across the pond of Penobscot Mountain on the
left and The Bubbles on the right. We had emerged from the notch between the two and walked the shoreline clockwise. As the
tiring day drew to a close we returned to our campsite for dinner around the fire.
