Thanks tomcat32, good info to know!

I'm toying with the idea of doing an extended backpacking loop this fall. The plan is to exit Baxter State Park towards Katahdin Lake and then follow the International Appalachian Trail north to Matagamon Campground. From there a short road walk to re-enter Baxter State Park and return. Does...

Two thumbs up, Fred!! It's good to hear you finished.

More reasons why I like VT so much!

Great poem, I can think of quite a few places where this should be posted. I'm confused, though. Who set's "Wilderness policy"? The reason I ask, I just got back from a week on the Long Trail in VT. The section I walked passed through at least 2 desingnated Wilderness areas. I mentioned to the...

I hope I don't have the same experience as you with the MT811 lace string breaking. I just purchased a pair and wore them for the first time this last weekend while backpacking the Bold Coast Trail. I really like this trail runner. So far, so good!
