Seema: Not sure if you got my emails -- we want to meet you in Caratunk. We will pick up your package at the post office on Sat., if you would like us to. Let me know via post here or email. We are planning to see you on Sunday, unless we hear otherwise from you. Hike on, girl!! Laura

Thank you, Sherpa, I stand corrected!! It is the Greatest Mountain -- and, of course, it is in Maine, the way life should be!! Laura

Way to go, HarryK! I was only there for the last peak to be bagged, Hamlin, on Monday, after getting the Brothers and Fort on Sunday. Another member of the 115 club -- glad I could be there for the Hamlin party!! Laura

Congrats to Spongebob!! He finished his New England 100 Highest and his Northeast 115 Highest lists this past Monday at Mt. Katahdin. All this one week after he finished his ADK 46. I was happy to be there!! What a great day, with great weather, to be at the top of Maine. Labor Day it was...

I agree with Dave, when going to Russell Pd., go up one trail and back the other. I have done each of these trails many times, they are both beautiful and worth walking. Was. Stream trail is flatter, the stream crossing is a little easier, and it is a little longer. The Russell Pd. trail is a...

Tramper: Oh yeah, I'm in! Even if you do it the wimpy way (ski trails). I don't have climbing skins, tho, so you have to give me time to get them. Hey, if we hiked it via the AT, it would be shorter than Bigelows! Keep me posted on your plans. Laura

CONGRATS SNOWSHOE AND DESIREE!!!! Can't wait to hike the Devil's Path with Sierra, if I can keep up with her, since she will probably be as fast as Dad! Do we get to meet her at the gathering?? Enjoy, Shawn! Laura

Tramper: Just take everyone for a ride on the road at sunrise or sunset -- up in that neck of the woods the moose are everywhere, you have to dodge them on the road not to hit one!! They will be going on a group hike to check the humans out!

TJ: I realized I never officially RSVP'ed, so I am now! I'll be arriving late on Friday, just like for DP -- will I have to break into the campground again ??? Laura

Great fun, great hike!! Great pics, Michael J! Glad I could be a part of it all. What will we do for Armfest aught 5????? Laura

Here is the link to the story in the newspaper: www.bangornews.com Story says these guys were high school friends, had planned the hike 3 years ago. No wonder we saw a helicopter flying north yesterday. My sympathies to the family!! Laura

WHAT????? I can't believe my eyes, you really did this!! Great pictures, glad you made it safely!!

Blue: What great pics!! So glad you had a nice trip and didn't get eaten by the bugs!! I agree, Bax94 should be the new avatar! Hope to see you on the trails soon! Laura
