Maine, bugs, heat, humidity, and muck.

As the title states:
BUGS: Mosquitos are horrible. They are everywhere. Someplaces worse then others,but ever present. We wear bug nets or suits to keep them at bay. Lots of DEET helps but doesn't last as long as it says.
HEAT: ITS HOT says it all. Even at night it doesn't cool down. 80's during the day and 70's at night. Rarely a breeze.
HUMIDITY: Ugh. I hate it and don't miss it. We don't have it in WA. I hated it living in N.Y. Everything is damp all the time.
MUCK: The trail so.far has been horrible mucky, wet, and muddy in many places. Yes the amount of rain is insane here this year. Having maintained two trails for the U.S.F.S. I tend to examine trail quality as I hike. Lots could be done to improve the trail so far. One Nobo said it gets way better in N.Y. we will see.

Travel to the East Coast

Image
Yesterday was the culmination of many months of preparation  for the trip. We took a bus from home to Seatac airport. We had both applied for TSA Precheck which was a breeze getting the security. It was almost like the old days of flying.  Now came the big wait of 3 hours before our red eye flight to Boston. Arrived early as we had a 60 mph tail wind. The good thing is that Tarren was getting  sleep. Virginia and I slept only a little.  Getting the rental truck was a bit of a fiasco.  The first truck was dead, the second truck bed was not cleaned. Number 3 did the job. Logan Airport was a trip getting out of but got going north. Traffic was gnarly. Tarren ate something that did not agree with him and has spent most of the day throwing up. After a couple of stops to get some things we couldn't bring on the plane we are staying in Freeport, ME for the night. Weather  forecast  is looking nasty for tomorrow with up to 1" of rain.

LIGHT IS NOT RIGHT

Image
The vast majority of thruhikers i see are going light or ultra light.  The most common conversation in camp is how many miles they did. Almost everyone has an obsession/ cult following with Sawyer Squeeze filters. Light is not right. My reasons are I need to be comfortable. Most people buy from the cottage industry makers of ultra light gear who seem to have taken over the gear scence related to A.T. thru hiking. The people I see with this stuff carry very little. They also have to modify it to make it comfortable. Many if the packs are frameless. Frameless packs have a history of being innovative but not working. To work a lot of forethought has to go into packing. I've used 2 over the years that worked. Both by Wildthings which sadly doesn't really exist anymore. Taken over by an investment fund. The packs where the Andinista and Freney. I still have my Freney. They were for alpine climbing. The had a pad in the back that can be removed and used to bivouac. Here is a great li...

Baxter Peak, Mt. Katahdin

Image
Mt. Kathadin, oh what a story to tell. All 3 of us where doing it together. It's 5.2 miles via the A.T. (Hunt Trail) to Baxter Peak, the highest point on the massif. Got to the trail head at 6:50. 2nd car in the lot, but slowly filled up as we got ready. Trail traffic through the day was busy, but not like some trails can be. 1st mile was a decent trail to Katahdin Falls. After that it went to hell right away. Steep is a mild word till the Tablelands. Followed a ridge line up to Tablelandd. Deeply rutted waist to shoulder deep. Boulders and rocks to.climb. Basically a stream up for over 1 1/2 miles. Then 5th class climbing to the Tablelands with a few placed metal rungs. One rain squall during the climb. Made it to Thoreau Spring about 5:00. Tarren and I went onto Baxter Peak to get to the northern terminus of th A.T. Back down to Ginger about 7. We decided to head down Abol trail to our campsite as it was 1 mile shorter a Seious down...
