Stayed there this past June - A#1 all around! Nice hiker discount, great bar/beer, and a really good breakfast. Had a blast there and very hiker-friendly. Highly recommend it. Enjoy.

You have been given a bunch of good advice but I will add one more bit. Stay current with whiteblaze as the really "weird" AT characters will usually be quickly identified here, many times with a...
I was able to secure a 6 month leave from Verizon (then Bell Atlantic) but it was pure luck that I got it. I happened to be switching jobs within the Company and my old boss was going to deny it but...
I usually go up to Monson early in the day, work on the corridor, spend that night at Shaw's then work the next day then home. How great is that? I have one dedicated set of work clothes for the...
The red blazes are likely property line markers that pre date any corridor work/acquisitions-whether they are still valid I do not know.
Here in Maine, within the MATC, we have smattering of books with our historical items. Someday, it will be nice to organize them and maybe scan the better entries for posting on Facebook or the MATC...
Full disclosure-this edition was released the summer of 2009. The next one will likely be 2014.
Hey Veteran, link doesn't work and no pic in your gallery.
I used to talk up the fries at Port Clinton circa 2000 but for my money, Pat, at the Doyle, makes the best fries on the Trail. Just my .02.
This is an excerpt from Mr. Turner's recollection in 1804: "They (the natives) have a tradition, that no person, i.e., native who has attempted to ascend it, has lived to return. They allege, that...
About 6 years ago I witnessed a great display at the south end of Flagstaff Lake (after you come off of Little Bigelow to a short gravel road walk-NOBO). It had all the elements, kind of shooting...
I arrived alone and did not want to hang around so I rubber banded my camera in a nearby bush (very touchey LOL) and took a bunch of shots (film in 2000 so no preview) to make sure I got one good...
If you find youself on top of Kidsty Pike in the clouds, with no one to follow, you will wish you had that compass!
I have nothing but good to say about the Cresta Hiker boot from Bean's. They are a sweet boot. As stated above, little to no break in (you will probably have a bit of a hotspot, mine is around the...
Mainer attendance will be -1 this year as it is the same time the MATC is having a "do" and we do not have many of them at all. Hoist a "ling" for Janice and I (give our best to Pat and Vicky) and...
From a "Mainer" point of view, Weary has been saying it best. Large tracts of undeveloped Maine lands are at risk. The alternative is for them to go to developers which, in my mind, is a one way...
I'll give you four - Avery, Shaffer, Espy, and Irwin.
I don't think so - ever. IMHO, the standard ATC type maps will always be available. I cannot tell you how many folks have said to me "I just love maps! They are great to look at and help explore...
I think Camp-Mor sold one back in 2000. Worth a look see.
Makes a great trail work pack though.
The Maine maps have an underlying yellow color with the red on top so I guess they would be cowardly commie pinkos?
I would just put on my pack cover and lean it against a tree after getting whatever gear I needed out. Worked for me. Be sure and leave any pockets and zips open for the critters.
The Maine A.T. maps have directions on them (on the back) on how to reach points and trailheads on the A.T. using a vehicle. That is a l-o-o-n-g haul but the directions are there for you to adapt.
How sensitive of you to hijack this thread.
The Lakes District is a great idea which would allow you to do some of the western end of the Coast to Coast - beautiful scenery. Another option would be to train south of London and head for the...
