Later this month, I plan to return to Maine to hike from Monson to Katahdin with 4 other hikers. This will be my final section of an end to end hike that has taken 21 years, beginning in Georgia in October 2000. My wife and two other non-hikers are also traveling to be there for the finale (and to re-supply us at Jo Mary Road). They will be staying in Millinocket in a house that I have rented for them. My plan has been, that once we exit the Hundred Mile Wilderness, I wanted to have them pick us up at Abol Bridge. We would stay the night in Millinocket, and return the next morning and "slack pack" into Baxter. They would pick us up again inside the park, probably at Perimeter Road near Katahdin Stream Campground, take us in to Millinocket for the night and return us the next morning for our climb up Katahdin. I saw this as a way to visit with them and also take some load off of Baxter's Katahdin Stream Campground which would, that night, have 5 fewer campers if I can follow my plan. When I called Baxter Park and discussed this with a young lady, she said that this could not be done, and that we could not be picked up and dropped off within the park. This seems illogical, especially knowing that it seems to support the expressed goal to reduce campers inside the park. I am wondering if perhaps the person that I spoke with misunderstood my intention. Does anyone have any insight? Plus, if there is no option for picking up or dropping off hikers, how do the 5 of us get picked up and taken out of the park after we summit and climb down from Katahdin? I am very confused! I have planned logistics for dozens of trips over these 21 years to get to this point, but the last 2 days in Baxter has me completely confused!
