I am SOBO MOFO

[TJ aka Teej]

onicoe, If you can't get a reservation, maybe you can share a site with someone else who already has one. Send some PM's to those leaving when you are...

Good suggestion! Baxter charges for a two person mininum - so MEGAs are already paying for two spots even if it's just them in the lean-to. It's cheaper to share!
(Northbounders are charged for just one person to stay at the Birches)

All I know is I am leaving for katahdin on friday and I will sit and wait until I can hike.

I do hope the trail opens for the 1st. If it doesn't, I'm doing a flip flop of sorts. I'll be starting in New Hampshire and walking south for six days, and my parents will pick me up and drive me to Maine to climb Katahdin on the second weekend of June and then continue south. Once I get back to where I started in NH I'll call my folks and they will get me to where I left off. But I want the trail to open.

Hey friend. Be thinking about why I can be such a stinker sometimes while I'm on the trail. Have a great summer.

Hey friend. Be thinking about why I can be such a stinker sometimes while I'm on the trail.

Maybe because the showers will be few and far between?

I'm setting off for the north country myself tomorrow night. We (my husband and I) are driving to NH to finish my last missing section, the 11.8 miles over Mt. Washington. If we get that done in a timely fashion, we're going to drive up to Katahdin, hoping to hike there on Wednesday. But then I'll be driving on back home instead of taking the scenic route.

SOBO Pride!

My start date got pushed back to the 3rd!

not sure if the trail is open on Katahdin or not (forgot to ask) but I pushed my reservations back to the night of the 3rd and I am staying in a leanto at katahdin stream. If the trail is closed I may wait but more likely I will head south and then do Katahdin when I return to Maine at the end of the thru hike.

So I hope I see you all there....not sure when I am getting to Baxter tommorow.

Take it easy everyone

I'm not seeing hardly any white high on Katahdin from The Green Diamond Katahdin Cam. I wouldn't want to start yet, but I understand why some can't wait!
