    Sorry we missed each other back in Maine. One thing I will say for certain (not that there was any doubt) is that southern main IS some of the toughest mileage on the entire AT. Add to that the humidity, the bugs and the mud and it made for some really long days between Rangeley and Gorham. Whole different story when you've been out here for 5 months and you hit southern Maine on strong legs in August/September.

    Glad you got to spend some time chatting with Honey,Bear, Rambunny and Aqua. They're quite a group ...

    All the best ....

    I am sorry I missed you both. I probably could of still had the time to hike in to catch you both at Full Goose Shelter. But I was thinking that after going through the Notch that you would have pressed on to Carlo Col Shleter, so I was worried I would have gotten there and you would not have been there. The other reason was it would have been dark by the time I got in.

    Sorry about that.

    I did a small hike the next day into Surplus Pond and was able to watch a moose. That was pretty cool.

    Default The Cabin hostel Closing

    Passing this along. Received a holiday message in the mail from Honey and Bear - they are closing The Cabin hostel to do some traveling and maybe some hiking as well. A great hospitable couple, hope they have a fun time in their "retirement".

    The above post is true. Honey and Bear were at our post-Thanksgiving event in Glencliff a few weeks ago. The Cabin will NOT be open in 2008 and they hope to spend most of the spring and summer travelling and doing some hiking themselves.

    I hope they have the time of their lives as they absolutely deserve it.

    Glad I got a chance to stay there last year when BadAss Turtle and I hiked from Rangeley to Gorham. It was the hilight of our hike. Honey and Bear couldn't have been better hosts.

    It's my guess that they will welcome anyone who shows up while they are at home, but will no longer be offering meals and other hiker services, They both love the trail and the hikers that walk the trail. I can attest that Marge has hiked the trail and loved the trail since the age of 2 or thereabouts. My memory of Earle doesn't go back quite that far, but he and Margery met me at the Iron Masters hostel in 1993 and continued north with me and my Grandson Jon through Vermont.
