Nice day to start! Hope he has a class 1 day to finish, too! Great pics, thanks for the trailjournals link, and happy trails to him!

Thanks! Thanks for the updates, everyone.

Any updates? I'm plotting by hiking escapes for this year and have really wanted to do this hike for quite some time now. Last I heard there had been a relo on the eastern end and an ongoing hold up on opening the western end. http://www.matc.org/glt1.htm I emailed Langdon Fake (see link above)...

I have this book - Robert's commentary on the journals and their authors offer amazing insights into the personalities involved. Teej < yet another Kennebunker who grew up reading Roberts :D

It's been all my fault. I bought myself new snowshoes for Christmas, and it hasn't snowed since... Here's hoping for an extra helping of Valentine's Day snow!

What time of year? Two weeks is plenty of time to get you from Caratunk to Katahdin, starting with an overnighter across the Kennebec to the Pierce Pond lean-to (my fav in Maine) and breakfast at Harrison's Camps. You'll meet Steve the Ferryman at the canoe ferry, you can stay at Shaws in Monson...

Knife Edge and Canoes! Stay at Katahdin Steam. 5 people, two cars, September? Best two mountains for car-spotting: Doubletop and Katahdin. Doubletop is a very rewarding climb, and 'bigger' than it looks from below. Katahdin: spot a car at Abol or Katahdin Stream, hike in from Roaring Brook the...

They'd "ruin" the spot they'd be built on? Then we should be careful in where we locate them, don'tcha think? :D

"So everybody hates wind towers." Um, no. Out of the seven proposed wind power projects in New England near the AT, the ATC only opposed this one. Since Maine already exports it's surplus of electrical power, this project would in no way help Maine's power needs. The project was in clear...

Great job by SAR! I remain amazed by their skill and dedication.

Let's hope he gets down today, so we can hear from him why.

thumbs-up I like the new system. but I miss having an excuse to go a-way up north the first week of January! The ten-days-in-advance-via-phone-w/creditcard deal certianly was a welcome addition too.

Only up high around Katahdin http://www.katahdincam.com/

Good news! Many thanks to all who supported this effort!

Thank you Breeze. That's a real shame.

Poor decisions due to Hyperthermia? That was my first thought when I read they drove to the top. Any updates on the condition of the hiker?

Squirts of poop? See any dried toothpaste portion size squirts of poop on top of rocks in the middle of the trail? Pine Martens do that.
