HaHa... Thank you!
Thanks for the info!
Hi there,
Does anyone know what's the current situation for Shuttles and hostels in Stratton, Maine? I'm planning a section for August and it looks like the Stratton Motel is closed. Were they...
Will do.
Thanks!
Hi there,
Does anyone know of a shuttle service in the Stratton area? I tried getting in touch with the guys at the Stratton Motel but apparently it's closed. Any other shuttles in that area?
...
Agreed. I wasn't suggesting multi day parking at trailheads, I was thinking more about one nighters while your husband waits for you or after dropping you off. That was clear in my mind but I didn't...
Will do! Looking forward to hear about your experience.
There are parking lots near the trail where day/section hikers leave their cars so those could be parking options although they may be too...
I'm not a thru hiker. Part of me really loves the idea of thru hiking but the other part of me also knows that I probably don't have it in me to wear the same dirty clothes day after day, sleep in a...
You may or may not be aware of this, PennyPincher, but many private campgrounds do not accept skoolies as they are not considered proper RVs. As far as I can tell there are no restrictions in...
My biggest concern is crossings. Icy cold water up to my armpits is no fun but high & fast running water can also be very dangerous. I'll be hiking solo and there will be less people on the trail...
My mind is made up. Thanks for all the feedback. I alread have time off from work and babysitting organised so I'll be going anywau but not in Maine. I've got my maps out and I was thinking maybe a...
Thanks D2maine and egilbe!
My hiking partner had to have surgery this morning and will be out for a month. We were going to do the Connecticut section but I thought I'd do another section by...
Hi there,
Does anybody know the condition of the trail on the section between Kennebec River and Monson right now? Wet or dry? Might there still be snow on the trail? Is it wise to hike this...
Thanks for the heads up, we'll bring plenty of bug spray.
I'm a cold sleeeper so my 0C/32F bag (only 3 degrees from what you are sugesting) will be perfect. Worse case scenario I'll unzip it during the night. And my liner and bigger pijamas will be my back...
Thanks a lot, I'll look them up!
Thanks for the info.
My 0C/32F sleeping bag should be ok then. I'll also bring a liner and big pijamas in case the weather turns cold. I'd rather carry a little more weight than be uncomfortable...
Hi there!
What kind of overnight temperatures can be expected in Connecticut at the end of May (23rd to 29th)?
Trying to decide which sleeping bag to bring.
Hi there,
I'm not available to join you in May but thought I'd chime in just to let you know that hiking alone is not as scary as most of us think. I went by myself for a week in 2017 because I...
Thanks for the info guys, I can't wait!!!
Hi there,
Is it a good idea to do a section south of Statton in Maine the first week of June? This is unfortunately the only week I have available.
Possibility of snow on the trail?
Muddy...
Appreciate all of your comments... THANKS !!!
You are pretty much all confirming what I thought. Like everything else in life, in certain situations, for some people, stuff doesn't get wet and in...
Good point Idsailor, I wouldn't have thought about that. I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks MuddyWaters!
That's what I usually do, I'll just keep doing the same thing.
Question for the Zpack owners out there. Are they as waterproof as Zpack says they are? We all know how manufacturers tend to bend the truth and I'd rather know about it before than after all my...
