Spent a few days in Baxter, stopped in Greenville and Monson on the way home. Sobos at Shaws report mega blowdowns, attacking osprey at Antlers. Chatting with Rebekah at Lake Shore House when NatureBoy strolls in, soaking wet and in wicked good spirits. Katahdin should be open by the time he gets there - and he'll be the first nobo to hike the retro-re-route inside Baxter. The AT after Daicey Pond headed past Tracy and Elbow ponds before hitting the Tote Road for a .8 mile walk to Katahdin Stream. The re-route heads out behind Grassy Pond and ends directly across from KSC - no road walk. This is the same Trail that Earl walked in '48, and that's cool.
