... dogs are ok however they are not allowed near the mountains since it's so difficult of a hike. Heading out in a few minutes to walk the big city. I think it's 1 block wide by 5 blocks. The city center doesn't even have a stop light. I am 80% sure we are in a 2 light town. We will be heading out tomorrow morning heading south. No real plans yet... need to search the tubes for our next stop. Jeff

... got locked out of the hotel. It was fun 44 degrees and rather scary since this town is empty. There are only 3 cars in the parking lot and even the staff goes home at night. So if you don't hear from us in the next few day assume the worst. Funny - I could not find the entrance so I made my own to the parking lot. Well I did not realize the ground was wet - so you can see the tracks all the way from the street to my car. Ooops...

... We saw Katahdin Falls about a mile into the hike. After the first mile, the hike became a lot more grueling but it didn't seem to faze us at all. We had our sites on the top. By mid-morning the hike became more of a climb. We had to start climbing up huge boulders and at a few points use the "oh ****" bars that had been hammered into the rock. There were places that were completely flat rock surfaces that had no ...

The peak night of the Perseids Meteor Shower finds us deep in the dark wilderness of Baxter Park. Our first campsite in Baxter Wilderness Preserve will be under the darkness of a New Moon. Ideal conditions to view the peak night of the Perseids Meteor Shower. Among wilderness adventurers this is unanimously considered THE most beautiful wilderness in Maine. The mountains ...

... My spirits were so low that it seemed impossible. And I hadn't even begun the main body of the hike yet. So, I decided that I would ride with Andrew and Benji to Philly and give up on the dream of Maine. I'm sitting here now in Upma's apartment waiting for my close to dry so I can walk down the street and stretch my legs some more. Andrew and Benji are gone back to NC. On Sunday, I'm going to take a train to Harpers Ferry, WV, the mid-point of the AT. From the there I'll ...

... 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 ...

... Thoreau hiked up the mountain. I generally think all politicians are scoundrels and thieves but Governor Baxter, who gave the original land to the state for the park knwe what he was doing because he gave it with the stipulation that no roads could ever be built on it which was very wise, especially if you compare it with one of the other main New England peaks-Mt. Washington which I will write more about the contrasts when I get ...

I spent some time rearranging things and did a general cleanup and swept out the van. It took several days into the trip to know what I needed most and easiest to get and then every few days the arrangement was refined until it became much more efficient. I washed up at the handpump, I wasn't in a hurry because there had been a thunder storm last night and everything was still pretty hazy. I did on watercolor sketch and then ...
