Katadin and the Wilderness

This is going to have to be really quick, as we must leave town again. At the moment, we are residing in Monson, Me. We should be back in town again in 3 days so hopefully i can add some more details, but overall we had a good trip. Katadin was a great hike, we used day packs and spent over an hour up on the summit looking at the 360 degree view (pictures eventually will be loaded). The hundred mile wilderness was neither 100 miles nor wilderness. We spent a night in a beautiful hostel right in the middle of the wilderness and gave ourselves some time off. The wilderness was pretty muddy, filled with slick roots, but other then that, it wasn't overly difficult. What we have come to realize is that ever part of the trail is pretty much the same; a green tunnel through the vast forrest's of the eastern United States.

I have got to run, but hopefully i can add some more updates later on.

Best

  1. Hi fellows,
    Marcia (Blaze) and I (Romer),aka "the older couple" were wondering if you made home.
    FYI, After hike with you in the wilderness we made it to Linconton, NH. Then skiped to Arcadia National Park. Hiked there for 4 day then took a train down to Wilmington Del.where we camped and visited Mt Cuba gardens, Longwood gardens, and several Dupont and Wythe homes.
    We then took a bus back to Boston and went to The Gardens In The Woods at Framington Mass.(home of the National Wildflower Society.
    As of Oct 5th we are back home in Cashiers,NC. planning our next trip.
    Pls. let us know what up and come see us when you can.
