... morning. Still shocked at the cheap prices for food and drinks outside of the big city(s). Dooz just had his second movement - so we are thrilled. He slept like a log last night and caught up today on his naps. Thanks to not being allowed in the park... well he would have been if we just took him. The main gates were open and no rangers. Plus we met a few dogs on the trail. The owners told ...

... wow $50 bucks. We sat outside however they would not allow Dooz... he ended up sitting in the front seat looking at us the entire time. Fun parts of the day. It took Kim 24 minutes to buy 2 coffees. We saw a horrible accident U-haul vs tree on 95. After the Uhaul hit the tree is started on fire. We were in traffic for 41 minutes and only covered 4 miles. So far we had great travel on 95 averaging 60+ mph and 19ish mpg. Dooz and I ...

... from the mountainside and despite that, Matt, Kate, Amanda and I continued on. Aunt Bridget held down the fort at the Table. The rest of the climb was HORRIBLE. There were tears and swears and whole lot of disappointment when I saw a sign and thought it was the top just to have a man on his way down laugh in my face and say we still had two miles left to go. Around 1pm we did manage to summit the mountain. The view was ...

... photographers stationed along the river to record our adventure. You can purchase movies and/or photos of our trip. We will spend three days in Maine's most picturesque wilderness enjoying the solitude, the Perseids Meteor Shower, the moose, the hiking trails and our meals of lake and brook trout. Those who wish might summit Mt. Katahdin, 5272 feet, Maine's highest peak ...

... you imagine. They tower above the world's largest carnivore. A walking moose is twice as tall as a walking Polar Bear and twice a Polar Bear's weight. A Bull can stand 7.5 feet at the shoulder, nearly 9 feet at the antlers and weigh over 1600 pounds. If a Bull Moose could stand on its hind legs like a Polar Bear it would be almost 16 feet tall.

... real, physical things. You get dizzy, short of breath, and you cannot shake the feeling that you're ****ed. We were just above the treeline on Katahdin, where the trail narrows and heads up the next plateau. We were exposed completely on both sides and in front of us was a half mile of huge, huge boulders to climb. I was having a lot of trouble finding the energy to get moving and Andrew was pushing me on. And we both noticed rain in the distance moving toward us. Andrew ...

... the crash memorial for SwissAir nearby. The coastal drive is really nice but repetitive and instead of driving to Yarmouth (seriuosly) I drove north to New Brunswick because the ferry was goig to be over 100.00$ I stopped in Wentworth, NS a quite little town with scattered houses, hostel and caves, hikes , climbing etc. But then I carried on the main Trans Canada, not much to see because of all the trees but quick. I don't ...

After a stop for breakfast I went to a place called Ledge Falls, wich was a fantastic area where the river passed over 150 feet of solid bed rock sculpting out terraces. Went on to Abol Campground and parked for the hike up the mountain to Baxter Peak. They had a sign about leaving yourself enough time to get up and back and I was always worried with an unfamiliar hike whether I would make it or not, and that was how it was then ...

... south. I stopped first at the southwest corner of Eagle Lake and then further along I went 6 miles back a logging road of of 11 and stopped out in the middle of nowhere. I took a walk, saw a winter wren and did tai chi. Back on 11 north of Ashland I saw an old house by the road I wanted to do a painting of. There was a river across the road with a flat section along it that was down a dirt incline about 45 degrees and 15 ...
