Ha! Nice try, Greg. You know I'm not going that route :p

Lean-to is still available. Please PM or email if interested. Thanks, Marty

Hi, I have a 4 person lean-to reserved at Katahdin Stream campground in Baxter State Park, which I cannot use. The period is for the nights of Saturday, August 16 through Tuesday, August 19. Please inquire if interested in purchase. Thanks, Marty

Pete, Congratulations on the 115 and thanks for such a great TR. Felt like I was there with you. Loved the Poster Boy photo and the crossing of Rapid Stream! Sorry our paths did not cross when you were in Oquossoc. best regards, Marty

Reasonable is a relative term in coastal New England in the summer.:rolleyes: That being said, you might want to consider the Anchorage Inn in Portsmouth http://www.anchorageinns.com/Welcome_Portsmouth.html. It is right off Route 95, close to the State Liquor Store. My sister (from Penn...

Nice job, Sue and Earl. Very impressive to knock those off in a day. No wonder you were hurting on the Osceolas, Earl.:rolleyes::) Marty

Earl, I think you did just great on Sunday! It was an awesome time with an excellent group. Am very happy that you and I have hiked several times together this spring and summer. Loved the pix, including the Chimney shots. IOU a carpool ride. Turns out I do have a sinus infection and got...

I believe that is called Ledge Falls.:)

45 years to the top of a mountain.:) ;) Earl, it was a pleasure to get out hiking with you once again. 5 weeks between hikes together is far too long. Your story and pix were great as always and you were right, I did get some great views going from Jeff to Monroe. Saw lots of patches of...

There were no essentially black flies on Saturday, June 7 on Caps Ridge Trail to Jefferson, multiple trails over to Monroe and down the Ammo Ravine Trail. That was sweet!

Way to go, Mark!! You are inspiration for all us old timers.:D Marty

hey Earl, that was one sweet hike with two great people and some great weather. Your photos captured it well - the views, the running water, the snow, the people. It was also nice to do a new trail (North Imp). Have to admit that I was sore from the hike, possibly from the soft snow...

You are so right on both counts. The bear line works great at Chimney Pond for bears, but it was not squirrel proof a few years ago. One red squirrel was jumping from a balsam fir and getting into food bags. We told the Ranger. He was out pruning/cutting some trees the next morning. Marty

That is a very good point and probably what the Ranger will tell me :). If the Togue Pond gatehouse opens at 5 AM, then leaving at 4 or 4:30 may be the case. Regards, Marty

The Reservation FAQs state the following: 11. Do campers need a Day Use Parking Pass (DUPR) to hike Katahdin? No, but let the campground Ranger know of your plans the day/night before your intended hiking day. They can provide information on weather and trail conditions and suggest a...

Hey Earl, It is always great hiking with you, even though everyone on the trail knew you or about you, whereas Jessica and I were known to nobody. :p You are definitely the Governor of the Tripyramid province. :D You are also a very fine butt slider! As usual, your slide show and captions...

Jonathan, My wife and I thank you for sharing your amazing trip and your jaw dropping photos. It looks like you all had a great time at perhaps our favorite place in the East. Some of the photos were simply jaw dropping and we loved the fact that everyone was smiling in all the photos in your...

Well done, Paradox. 5 lists in 2 weekends. Amazing! Talk about adrenaline rushes.:) Hope our paths cross soon. Regards, Marty

Hey Earl, Am glad that the truck is back in service. Sorry we did not get to hike, although it was great that we did at least see you, Angelina and Dennis on the slope of Eisenhower. Loved the photos. They definitely captured the beautiful, but windy day that it was. Hope our paths cross...

Congrats on achieving your winter 48 completion! Best regards, Marty (the guy with the "pretty" blue coat that you met hiking Garfield last month) :)
