I live along the Penobscot River. I'm told by those that came before that it was a wasteland back in the day. Well, I think it's beautiful and we frequently see bald eagles, among other treats. ...and of course, the bald eagle was recently removed from the state and federal endangered species...

Pics This is my quick write-up of my part in the Dartmouth Outing Club's "AT-in-a-Day" challenge. The goal was to stretch hikers out along the entire 2,176-mile trail and hike the entire route in one day. Some 800 hikers were part of the effort. This challenge is part of the year-long...

whatever... I had snow on the summit of Katahdin yesterday. :cool:

Just back from finishing my section: Abol Bridge to Baxter Peak. I'm beat after ~20 miles through just about the most schizophrenic weather I've ever experienced. 5:20 am (Abol Bridge) to 5:30 pm (finish at Abol CG). Saw my first snow of the season. Report and photos to come. How did the...

You are only half-way when you reach the summit. The hard half is getting down and out when you are wicked tired and you are running out of light, water and calories... Have you ever noticed yourself or others getting the "stumbles" late in the day when you are bit low on calories and water...

The trail is now 93% covered. Please help (there's a DOC membership in it for you!): THE TRAIL SEGMENTS THAT STILL NEED HIKERS: In order of importance: PA/NJ: May need extra hikers near the PA/NJ border. Email [email protected] with subject line: PA/NJ hiker Tennessee, near Erwin: Iron...

I'd say it already had its intended effect. Which of you are willing to park where you aren't supposed to park after reading this thread?

Frodo covered most everything but I thought I'd chime in to reinforce what Giggy said about the Abol Slide trip. It has only recently been opened up as a "legal" option for climbing Baxter in one day. People have done it for years but now it is officially allowed. It is becoming an increasingly...

that just made my day. I have a new quote to add to my list...

Following me is someone covered in needles, standing at a register on a viewless summit, with a huge grin.

Given the current state of affairs, 20% is the bare minimum discount I even consider these days. It's a buyer's market :)

Are crumpers still welcome to post here :o Glad you had a fine time. I made the right decision, although I missed seeing all of you. Spencer

Hi Jim. Glad you made it. I think I had an easier time going from Middle to North but definitely saw some of what you are talking about. I didn't mean to imply the "trail" actually crossed the Tote Rd. I only saw evidence of it on the east side of the road. I haven't been to Billfish or its...

I'm crumping, too. I wouldn't be able to get there until pretty late on Saturday and have to leave midday on Sunday. I hope the survivors have fun! spencer

Joanna woke me up this morning and in response to the NPR story that was airing on the alarm clock, asked, "Hey, did you know about them removing the bridge in the Pemi?" I replied, "Yeah, but don't worry - Wu has a plan." then I rolled over and ignored the radio for a while longer. See, Wu...

I nominate Dr. Wu to go there after the removal and try to ford the river, only to twist an ankle an get dragged under water... ...just long enough to make the point! I don't actually care if they remove it or not. if I want to go to the other side I'm still going to go. It just...

Please DO NOT BRING FIREWOOD unless it's from close by. Reason. There are plenty of local sources to buy camp wood along the road. I'm coming Saturday night and will bring a bunch of clean wood.

I think I can make it Saturday night and play on Sunday. I'd run a river on Sunday if anyone's interested.
