Date of Hike: 06/16/09 Trail Conditions: Some wetness down around the bottom, but I was somewhat surprised that there wasn't much standing water. Wetness lessenned as I gained elevation and wasn't really an issue. Totally dry above treeline. No blowdowns, though a couple bog bridges could...

Date of Hike: August 17, 2008 Trail Conditions: Muddy with wet rocks down low, dry and WINDY in apline zone. Special Equipment Required: Poles, light jacket, and good waterproof boots. Comments: Adams summit was socked in with clouds, and when I arrived, it looked deserted, until I saw a...

Yes, and I'd thought of that, but it seems pretty unlikely. I suppose at this point it doesn't matter, as I'm 100% better and now it's just an icky memory. Thanks for all the replies. Now, if this repeats itself after my next overnight, then I'll have to start taking a closer look at my...

Interesting...should I mention that I did this trip solo and had both lean-to sites entirely to myself both nights? I saw a few people (mostly SoBos) in passing, but those encounters were very brief. There were those two NoBo hitch-hikers that I drove into Stratton, and spent about 5 minutes...

Would leaving gatorade in one of your water bottles overnight (i.e unrefrigerated) and then drinking the remainder the next day count as "potential spoilage"? Does that stuff even go bad? Or perhaps there was something bad in that sandwich I bought in Stratton. Lag time between sandwich and...

I am reasonably certain that the timing of this was just a coincidence, but just in case it's not, I thought I'd throw this out there. From Tuesday through Thursday, I did a 2 night trip the Rt. 4 trailhead on Saddleback to the Rt. 27 parking lot after the Crockers. Took me just over 2 hours...

Date of Hike: 6/28/2008 Trail Conditions: Despite lots of rain in Bangor last night, the trail was surprisingly dry. Woods were damp at worst, rocks were mostly OK, especially above treeline on Cathedral where dryness matters. Trails well maintained, bog bridges not rotted, no blowdowns, etc...

Date of Hike: 6/18/2008 Trail Conditions: Starting from the Morgan Rd (Little Jackson/Parker Ridge trailhead), we actually took the Pond Link trail by accident, missing a turnoff for Little Jackson, apparently. The trail is in fairly rough shape. It's blazed well enough, but it's getting to...
