Hey Maine-folk and non-Maine folk alike,

I am a Mainer, always looking for compatible hiking buddies. While I do value solitude highly, and I certainly don't mind if we travel at our own pace for...

Anyone need a ride up there? Please send me a private message here if you'd like to join and split the gas.

I have a tent site reserved up there for that night (Mon Aug 4) so you can split the...

Bern, no one likes you anymore. ;)

I live about .5 mile from the Kennebec. Where I am, about 3 hrs drive south of Katahdin, holy god YES there is still tons of snow, even down here. Last night we even got ANOTHER inch or two. I...

Lifesaver's Lowa boots lasted the whole way!! They are pretty done in this pic....

Cooker - great info to have. Thank you much. I'll probably do the tent thing as some of my gear might be borrowed and I would like to return it sans mouse-teeth marks.

Thank you so much.

I used this (solo version) on my section from Gorham to Grafton Notch/Rt 26 last season. Certainly a great $ and extremely easy to use. I had borrowed this and would consider buying one, though I...

Nice temp chart. And killer ponies. Or rather, killer temp chart and nice ponies. :D Thanks much!!

Thanks Lone - if I don't see any, you'll give me my money back, right? ;)

I think we're starting in Damascus actually. Does that change anything? I've been promised ponies. But I'm a Mainer and my geography skills are worse than Christopher Columbus' blind dog's.

I know nothing about this area -- will a 20 Degree bag be okay?? Anything else I should know? What is the terrain like?
Hopefully the ponies will have some foals by then. :)

I'm a bass player. www.myspace.com/xaronbass or www.myspace.com/ameranouchegj to hear the music! We play all over the place, and I am very guilty of trying to book shows that will put me near the...

Thanks Jack. And, I think you and I were about 2 feet away from meeting recently in Hanover. Wicked and I were chatting and you walked up as I left. Small world...

Uncle Silly, I wish you'd move to Maine so I could hear you play more. Your beautiful pickin' at Speck Pond was FAR from noise pollution.

Anyone know how to get ahold of Packrat?

....Or you can do pushups while still IN the bag. :)

10-ish miles/day, that is!

I agree with everyone. Also - it's GORGEOUS. You will probably want to pause and enjoy it. I was not at all antsy to do more after 10-ish days here.

Dark Pork came about as as series of semi-tragic miscommunications.
How could I resist it?

I met a High Life last week heading south. He was headed into the Pemigawassett wilderness area I think. Hiking Mt Cube? If that's what it's called... Very cool guy.

Great idea, Kerosene!! :-) I am actually laving today so I need to go finish packing... Carrying 8 days of food (and almost no STUFF, comparatively!) is completely baffling. Wish me luck....

Haven't heard, but I'll let you know on the 12th if I see/smell it!

I am still pretty nervous but really looking forward to this adventure... I leave on Weds morning. I think mostly I am just...

Thanks everyone.
My buddy is great and I think he'll be a very flexible hiking companion. He assures me that he wants to go slowly in Maine anyway because it is supposed to be very beautiful. ...

We had to turn around right as I was getting somewhat stuck (definitely mentally and temporarily physically!) at the bottom of the first Cathedral -- it was beginning to pour. GULP.

I've never done much more than day hikes and now I'm about to do a 7 day thing in the Mahoosucs from Gorham to Rangeley on the AT. I am really nervous. I need reassurance that an average person can...
