Hi PB, Stop by the AT Cafe the night before, and sit at counter. Hope you get to meet new owners Paul (OleMan) & Jaime (NaviGator). Buy some doughnuts for the next day's b'fast. For local color, stop in at the Scootic Inn and Blue Ox Saloon, and be sure to tell everyone you're from Boston...

Just got off the phone with Baxter Park HQ in Millinocket. Due to the poor conditions of the roads all reservations for the traditional Opening week-end of May 15th are being canceled and campers holding reservations for those dates will be contacted regarding refunds or swapping ahead for new...

Thanks! Wicked nice report & pics!

Depends on the level of endangerment. If the probable result of doing/saying nothing is only that Mr Unprepared Ignorant will learn a lesson and come to no serious harm, I'd let him learn. On the other hand, if saying nothing means he'll, or a child, will end up in serious trouble/danger than I...

I was in the Park as a rep for the ALDHA Thru-hikers' Companion on Saturday and was told about this incident by several Park personnel. I absolutely trust the folks who were sharing the tale. If I was there what would I have done? Good question...

The Park employees who told me about this incident on Saturday certainly were not.

If they'd gone off trail seeking safety in a t-storm, the damage to habitat would be a secondary issue. To do so for personal entertainment is what I deplore. From the video link it appears they took a right at the sign informing hikers of the need to stay on trail.

Is on Katahdin's doorstep OK? http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/vbg/showimage.php?i=12867&catid=member&imageuser=314 How about one with this view? I include these cabins in my entry for the ALDHA Thru-hikers' Companion because of their proximity to Katahdin and, in my opinion, value. Here what...

Thanks for the trust, Pig Pen.

The campground they climbed out of was Katahdin Stream, staffed by one Ranger. He has many more responsibilities than to stand at the trailhead 24/7 and frisk hikers. The jerks signed out at the trailhead at 2AM, under 'trail up' they wrote 'Hunt', under 'trail down' they wrote 'Air'. To the...

Selfish idiots destroy rare plants on Katahdin. A few days ago two morons parasailed off the Tableland. They laid out big tarps (so their chutes wouldn't snag) and dragged them across fragile plants and nesting areas for Bicknell's Thrush well off the marked trail. They then cleared brush for a...

The parents of Buddha '03 are the originators of the LT Festival. :)

It's a hiker fest, the odds are it'll turn into a beer fest :D

http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24581 WhiteBlaze.net AT hiker Feed in Monson, ME on Sept 15th and 16th, 2007. Last few years were at Steve Longley's place in Caratunk, this year's Feed is in the "just-got-announced-yesterday" stage at the moment. Monson's part of my section for...

Really great pics! Great thread!

Yup. and that's when the car v moose accidents will increase.

Parking area? Isn't that just a wide shoulder? Is there really a parking area?

Fig Newtons! On the AT-L list a while back the ExpensiveEnergyBar v CheapAlternative concluded Fig Newtons were close enough to be considered equal to the EEBs. I'll stick with peanut M&Ms :D

Acadia NP: Nesting falcons prompt trail closures http://www.bangornews.com/news/t/hancock.aspx?articleid=147986&zoneid=178 Not earthquakes closing trails this time, just more peregrines nesting!
