Thanks for starting this thread and making me aware of Cory.
Portland, Maine is still open.
"Real funny. Unlike the selfish people opposing the park, I believe in something more than my own narrow interests. If I owned any substantial area of land, I would already have donated it to a land...
Burger, man, you love the word "selfish." I think "selfish" is when you try to force your views and desires on people that don't want them. But that's just me. I honestly don't know what's in...
Thank you BlackCloud. I have read this before and wish I had thought of it as part of my last post. National Forest might be a better choice. No one complains that the WMNF isn't a National Park. At...
Thanks for knowing what I am thinking Burger. While I said I am ambivalent, I guess, since I don't feel I have a right to tell those in the area what they want or not, I guess that makes me against...
Amen! I am ambivalent I guess to this proposal. But I couldn't have said this better myself. If the locals don't want it, who am I tell to them they do? I will continue to love the Maine North Woods...
True, it gets it's funding from user fees and the endowment Baxter left for it's management. But it is run by State employees. The Baxter State Park Authority is made up of the Attorney General, the...
Holy cow Shutterbug. That's him. Although he's 6-2 and under 200 now. A hiking machine. Plans to do the PCT next year and complete the triple crown in 2019 or so. Thanks for the pic and for...
My stepson thru hiked last year and not too far into the journey (sorry, don't know exactly where this happened), he went into a hostel. Could have been Ron's I guess. He was hanging out with others...
Yes, the AT was just one facet of "Weary's" life. We in Maine can rejoice and celebrate him pretty much every time we use Maine's Public Lands. The Bigelow's as just one example. Just today I thought...
should you hang your food bag from the oxygen lines? Can you get a tunafish can through security to put it on the hose? hmmm.
Jack spinning a yarn and commanding an audience at the Whiteblaze feed in Caratunk in 2005. Shutterbug, pretty sure this is when I met you and the feed you mentioned.34751
Here's to: "Bill Bryson is a Candy Ass!!!!!" RIP Baltimore Jack.
Yeah, didn't drive off pavement with LFDR being paved, but in following the Arnold Expedition route back out the couple of logging roads it follows were really bad. Lots of obvious mud but also lots...
haha. Just kidding
My heart got ahead of my head this weekend. Between the pretty much non-existent winter we had in Maine this year, and going to the annual Maine Appalachian Trail Club meeting...
RIP Weary. Thank you for all you did for the outdoor community in Maine.
One more. My stepson going by the name of "Mainer" or "Mainah". Not sure how he's spelling it. He's 26, from Gray. I also know Carey Kish who is mentioned in the article.
I follow Peter on Facebook. He has a new book coming out this year I believe. Not walking/hiking. He took a vintage 57 Chevy and explored by car. Even went back to places in the original Walk books.
Still going strong as far as I know. It has been May since we cruised through on a Friday evening but evidence of it (mic stand, amp) were still in the store Sunday.
Morning all
First, Tim says HI and Happy New Year!!
We stop in to say hi whenever we are passing through and did so Sunday.
He has a message for the AT Community.
Last year, word was...

He summited on 10/10/10
Congratulations Troll!!!!
That's the last I heard as well. It was weird, sitting at my kitchen table on 18th reading a post from the 17th (Carlo Col shelter), knowing he was just an hour or a little more away. Hopper had an...
We talked at length at last year's feed about still having it with just Tam, Donna, and myself doing it. The usual crew minus ATTROLL. But I guess that idea fell apart. Nothing was planned. Sorry. I...
