Fun! I am getting sucked into a time warp from years gone by! -MEB

Audrey, it has been a long time since I have been here too! I'm planning on coming! I am so looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. -MEB

Very nice! Thanks for sharing! -MEB

I will have to check this one out!! -MEB

I was on the Bigelows last weekend. The water crossing on Stratton Brook Pond was a little high but totally doable. There were a few patches of ice here and there but no snow to speak of. I had microspikes but never needed them. Hope this helps! -MEB

Amazing pictures! What a great day to be up high....hopefully it was warmer than the previous day. -MEB

Once my ankle heals up I think I will give it a try. -meb

I must have just missed you. What a great day to be up high!!! I was very suprised to see a car at the summer lot when I got down....the gate was also open at the other end. IS it really winter? Where is the SNOW??!! -MEB

Thanks for the info Chris:) Meb

No pictures or videos....but I do have a video of what happened last winter on the same trail. https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1791038145899 This was taken after my friends spent a good twenty minutes just getting my foot free. I think this trail has it in for me!!! -MEB

Thanks for all the responses. The wood on this bridge was quite nice but the gap was huge. Had my foot slipped somewhere in the middle I most likely would have snapped my leg. It was pretty high up and was over a small stream. I'm always greatful for trail maintainers and work crews. MEB

Anyone know if there is a standard width between the logs on a bog bridge? My foot got wedged between two logs yestersday and it took myself and two others to get it out. I have fallen off many bog bridges but have never gotten stuck in one. -MEB

Check out this site..... http://www.pmags.com/green-mountain-gallivantings-paul-magnantis-long-trail-hikes-1997-and-1999 This site has a lot of great information for planning other long distance hikes as well. I did an E2E in 09 and I think the only place I had to pay a fee was at Butler...

Sounds like you had a great hike! Nice running into the previous day on Carrigain. So how many left for "December"? -MEB

What is a wiki?
