    more New England mountain lion rumors

    Man. We were out there in the woodsies of Maine last year seeking ways to climb up Abrams. It was very isolated. Thought we heard (bigfoot) woodknocking, etc. I'm gonna be packing from now on.

    Ktaadn

    Seems my wife may be drafted to 'emergency' service (she works with bipolar/scitzofrenics) for the week. Cr@p!! Gotta wait another year?? The psyco (it's not a trivial hike at my age) of hiking may be eating at me. Should I do it alone, just to do it??

    Article on the IAT

    So where exactly does it go at the Baxter summit?? Some trails meander thru BSP, but I don't see any trails leaving BSP. Do you pick it up again in Gaspe??

    Time to update the rain gear shell

    My Marmot Precip has kept me dry for years, although I must admit that I haven't been in any torrential downpours above treeline in it (like the experience I hadsome years ago breaking the tree line and sprinting to the Madison Hut from King Ravine in such miserable circumstances). And the...

    Thanks for the input. Chimney Pond seems best for a more relaxed trip, but some issues. Extra 2 days/nites means probability of bad weather goes up, and I'll be the one carting the food/stove/water/sleep bags. While my wife talks a good game about camping at CP, she is a 4-star hotel camper...

    Ktaadn

    SO after reading all the trail info and trip reports 100 times, it's time to choose a route to the summit. The hips have been acting up (arthritis in R hip joint), and the by-pass surgery of 6 years ago is now an insignificant factor. I don't want to postpone for another year the hike up my...

    Missing hikers tonite on C2C

    David Paulides has writte a couple of books on bigfoot. His latest (2 books - Missing 411 - covering either west and east US) is on missing hikers, especially in national parks, and an apparent cover-up of that data by park admins. His first appearance on C2C a few months ago can be seen...

    AT - Mt Wash

    Just looking at Google map of Mt Wash noticed that they have AT leaving summit and decending via Tux to PN, and crossing the road, up to Wildcat. Sorry if this has been mentioned before. OR, has the AT been re-located?

    A 3-day, Maine 8-pack, with 6 Moose for Dessert

    Should we start a poll for when it caves?? Did those peaks 3 years ago. Drove the CVR in a bimmer with no problem, but stopped before the metal bridge. Had to hug the side of the road (ie, into the bushes) a few times to avoid some oil pan redesign.
