Thank you Andrew. I just got off the phone with Will, and sent along the pictures. He seemed enthused that it might indeed be Lynx, but of course it is tough to tell with track photos alone. I will be back in the area this weekend and will keep a sharp eye peeled for more sign. Thanks also for...

Thank you Andrew, it may be just wishful thinking on my part, but I do believe from what I observed and subsequently learned, that it may have been a lynx. Would it be possible for you to PM a phone# or email for Will? Is the Wildlife Journal online? Thanks, Kevin

The first photo is poor because the animal was stepping in older tracks. There is no doubt in my mind there were only 4 toes, and no nail marks. The pad under the toes is consistent with the photos you posted links to, a lynx heel pad is more or less triangular, and what makes me lean towards...

Actually 4 digits and a pad, no nail marks and between 3 and 4" wide... KDT

Thanks! Looked like about an 12"-16" stride... did not look canid to me, which is what caught my eye, and the dogs reacted differently to the scent than they do when they come across coyote or fox tracks... now I wish I had gotten better photos... KDT

I am no expert by any means... at first I thought maybe Bobcat or possibly coyote, but when I got home and checked my books I think maybe they are Lynx judging by the size. Of course, I could be totally wrong... any trackers out there that can take an educated guess? KDT

OK, technically 5ks, but absolute must visits that are not on the 4k list are Mount Clay and Boott Spur. Surprised Acadia has not been mentioned, I love hiking anything there. Also Camden Hills... wow, my feet are itchin' to go after reading this thread! We have some more new ground to cover...

Thanks all for the kind words! @ Chris- She made it to the foot of Owlie a couple of years ago, but did not summit for a number of reasons, so, would have to return for that one. Then, yes, the Bonds/Zealand, and Adams/Madison. We attempted Adams/Madison last March but somewhere along the lower...

Rime Dog Mount Lafayette 5260’ Old Bridle Path/Greenleaf (Up and down) 8 Miles 3600’ Elevation gain Kevin, Judy and Emma It had long been in my mind that Judy and Emma would finish their W48 on Lafayette together if and when it was to occur. Well, like so many plans, circumstances have...

Excellent! Have yet to do them in winter, but looking forward to it as your report and pictures tell me I must do! KDT

Great stuff, Phil! we have just recently discovered this part of the state as well. Happy exploring! KDT

This is tremendous, Tim! Thanks for sharing, you never cease to amaze! KDT

Great Tr and photos, Chris! Days like that up there are a true gift! KDT

The hike along Martha's Mile between Martha and Owls Head is one of my favorite miles (8/10s)in the Whites though we didn't visit this time! KDT

Excellent! Love the groups! KDT

Thanks, Phil! It is a very cool little hill! Make the effort to go over to Owls Head from there as well! (We didn't this trip for a few reasons.) It's a fun round trip over and back with good views when there are any. KDT

Nice! KDT

Great stuff Mark! KDT

Thank you! The volunteer program as I said has been a great experience for me over the years and outside of extreme weather winter gear necessary for winter shifts on the summit, I have been able to give of myself without reaching into my pocket. Time is a valuable thing, and is as much...
