Hi;

I might have put this in the wrong spot under "camping". Is anybody aware of a decent camping spot between Bemis Mtn. Lean-to and Hall Mtn. Lean-to in Maine. It seems like a long way between shelters in tough terrain. If need be, I'll just put myself in gear and do the distance.

Any Mainers here?

A looong time ago I stayed at the Elephant Mtn Lean-to which is about 3 miles south of Bemis Mtn Lean-to. Still exist? If not, should be camping sites there. My old Maine maps show this about 1/2 mile from the AT on the Bemis Valley Trail.

Is this option still availabel?

Thanks for the response. My 2004 map doesn't show that, but maybe because its on a side trail. Would the Bemis Valley Trail also be known as the Bemis Stream Trail?

Sure looks like it.

The only other thing I can add is that I have a note in my journal that the Bemis Valley/Stream trail used to be the AT before a relo. That would explain why the shelter (if still there) is 0.5 from the AT.

Would be interesting if any Mainers can fill us in with current info.

Good luck.
