So, my girlfriend is going to begin a SOBO thru in early June. I have the time to do Baxter State Park and all of the 100 mile wilderness with her, yet, I must return home when I get to Monson. Here is where I need whatever advice I can get: We will be driving to Katahdin from GA and will be hiking with a dog. In your opinions, what is the best way to Kennel a dog during the BSP phase, where can we park for 2 weeks, and how do we get back to the car from Monson?
Here's the plan I've initially conceived of: 1) Drive to Millinocket, 2) kennel the dog nearby, 3) shuttle to Katahdin, overnight, summit and hike to the golden road, 4) shuttle back to Millinocket, 5) get the dog and drive to Monson and park the car at a hostel, and 6) shuttle back to the golden road and hike the 100 mile wilderness with the dog.
What do you think? All in all, and not counting the drive from GA to Millinocket, this should take about 12 days. Doable? If you can think of a better plan, let's hear it! Thanks in advance.
