As I said, we got to Abol Bridge on August 18th. That’s the entrance to Baxter State Park, and is considered the end of the 100-mile wilderness. As usual, Dave met us there, and already had camp set up at the campground there. We even had showers – a quarter for six minutes; the General [...]

When Last We Left Our Hero – Maine, Part II

Loafy (probably) finishes tomorrow!

This is Jill writing…. Since he’s in an ultra remote area and might not update for a couple more days, I just wanted to let you all know that Loafy will likely be summiting Katahdin and finishing his northbound odyssey tomorrow, August 21.
Keep him in your thoughts!
Yay Loafy! You are amazing!

Greetings from Maine

Gosh, a lot has happened since I last wrote. I’ll try to be succinct, yet evocative.
First off, where I am and why. I’m in Bethel, ME, which most people usually skip, because it’s right in between Gorham, NH and Andover, ME. I decided to come in because it’s the last decent outfitter for northbounders, and [...]
