Snowman (or Trailbiscuit as he's known here) and I set out Sunday, September 14th from Monson to do the 100 mile Wilderness and summit Katahdin - the final stretch in our ongoing four-year quest to finish the AT! It started to rain on us about three miles into the first day, but it did make the...

Date: 9/7 and 9/8/08 Trails: AT from Rangeley to Caribou Valley Road Conditions and comments: Man, was it windy atop Saddleback, the Horn and Saddleback Junior on Sunday! We were being buffeted around like crazy. This was our remaining 24 miles before we start our last section of the AT this...

Date: August 31, 2008 Trails: AT from Caribou Valley Road to Rt. 27 Conditions: Trail in great shape and very dry. Closer to Rt. 27 someone had been in brushing the trail recently - thanks! Only one or two blowdowns, and not much mud to speak of at all, which was a nice change from our hikes...

Date: August 18, 2008 Trails: Goose Eye Trail; AT from Goose Eye through the Notch, up the Arm and down to Grafton Notch Trail Conditions: Goose Eye Trail in good condition. AT in good condition too, with most of the muddy sections covered by bog bridges. Road Conditions: Success Pond Road...

Date: 8/4/08 Trails: AT from East Flagstaff Rd to Caratunk Conditions: Trail was a stream, mud pit, swamp and river in almost all spots. The rivers were running high, and we had to ford three streams plus the Pierce Pond dam. Yes, there were a few dry areas, but the overwhelming word for the...

Date: 7/27 to 7/28/08 Trails: Followed AT from Franconia Notch to Crawford Notch. Conditions: Liberty Springs Trail near bottom a bit wet. Franconia Ridge in good shape. Trail down Garfield a stream in many spots, making descending the rock ledges a bit difficult and time consuming. Ethan...

Date: 7/20 through 7/22/08 Trail: AT from Caratunk to Monson Conditions: Trail was extremely muddy. Could use bog bridges in too many spots to name! But especially atop Moxie Bald Mountain, where the treadway is narrow through the sheep laurel, etc and people are beginning to tramp down the...

Date: 7/6 to 7/7/08 Trails: AT from Rt. 27, Stratton to East Flagstaff Rd. Condition: A few big blow-downs very close to Rt. 27. Trail very overgrown just south of the summit of Little Bigelow, but otherwise, everything was inpretty good shape. Comments: In our continued quest to finish up...

Date: 6/8 and 6/9/08 Trails: AT from Rt. 2 in Gorham until after West Peak of Goose Eye; down Wright Trail, south fork Conditions: Some blowdowns here and there. Bog bridges in places could use some work (somewhere between Wocket Ledge and Moss Pond, as well as a few other spots). Rocks...

Date: 5/18/08 Trails: Baldface Circle Trail loop over both South and North Baldface. Conditions: Up to South Baldface clear of snow, and mostly dry. Ridge between the two summits had some patches of snow but easy to navigate through. A few bigger patches of snow on the descent from North...

After spending all our weekends in October painting and getting our new place ready to move into instead of being out hiking, we finally moved in last weekend! So, instead of unpacking today, we decided to go out and enjoy this nice, crisp November day. The boxes could wait :D We chose...
