I'm gonna have to disagree with you here because 4 and a half months is a managable amount of time for a thru as long as you're making good mileage. My main concern is the fact that hiking thru Maine...

Hey tori, I'm looking to do the same thing but I'm not certain which direction I am heading. Maybe us early June folks could form a group to hike with if we're heading the same way since I would be...

It's funny how naive people can be when they think you can just let a trail go unmaintained and have it be managable to hike on. Sections on West Baldpate have had to be re-routed because of the lack...

It depends where you are hiking but you would be surprised how cool it can get some nights towards the north. A lightweight 45 or even 35 degree bag would be best for a sleeping bag.

Goose Eye to Baldpate and Crockers to Bigelows are my favorites. They both hit major peaks that Maine is well known for. Mahoosuc Notch is always fun no matter what.

I kinda like Pathojenn more... Jennfinder sounds like i'm trying to hook up with someone.

Mice are going to run around in the shelter anyway so it really doesn't matter. I hang my food in the trees sometimes if I'm tenting out and I don't want to disturb the people in the shelter when I...

1. I would definately bring a tent like the one you're talking about, and I would seperate the parts between you so one person isn't carrying it all.

2. I would buy stuff sacks made for holding...

#13243! (sorry I had to get in to this endless post somehow)

I don't remember if there was a water source between the peaks, but I do remember Crocker Cirque being amazing on the south side of South Crocker. There's a great stream that flows right next to the...

The first time you try it out you'll probably feel like your going to split it in half when you lay back, but it will hold up fine if you do the knots right. The toughest part for me is just...

I like bringing dried fruits and other "good" snacks but nothin beats chocolate. I usually end up seperating the snacks because eventually it all starts to taste the same.

I have the ATC's guidebook for New Hampshire and Vermont and the maps included are very helpful. They include elevation and contour maps for each of the sections. You probably wouldn't bring the book...

Trail Name - Pathfinder
Direction - Northbound
Estimated Start Date - May 31st
Approach Trail - yep

Good luck guys! I'm looking forward to some awesome pictures like the ones on your site. Finishing Maine in 12 days should be tough... along with eating just powerbars... you guys are crazy! :D

I'm planning on starting in late May and it looks as if I should make it as long as I don't get hurt or something like that.

Late start for me, end of May 2010 NOBO!

I plan to start a Northbound thru-hike in early June of 2010. I'm cutting it close, but I think I can do it.

Has anyone heard if Woody and Redbeard made it to Springer? I hiked for five days last year with these two Texan SOBO's in the Mahoosuc Range, and I was wondering if they made it. I know that Woody...

Hooah!!!

No way!!! Up here in Maine there's still quite a bit of snow. The mountains just got a few more inches of snow yesterday. It will at least be another month until I will have to mow the lawn. (Not...

Not even the good ole fluffernutter or rice crispy treats? I love that kind of stuff... especially 'smores.

Well actually in May of 2010 I will be graduating high school and will have already applied and deferred a semester from college to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. Since I don't have a license I...
