From: Sabbath Day Pond Lean-to

To: Bemis Mountain Lean-to
Miles today: 8.3
Weather: scattered clouds

7/24/2011Time: 5:24 p.m. DISTANCE TRAVELED: 8.3 miles FROM/TO:  From Sabbath Day Pond Lean-to to BemisMountain Lean-to. WEATHER: It was partly cloudy and cool all day. The temperatures were in the lower 70¢s, and felt cold to me. MEALS:  I had Raisin Bran cereal and a glass of water for breakfast. I ate six fig cookies for my first snack, along with a 12 litter of water. And for my second snack, I ate a Butterfinger and two Pop-Tarts with another litter of water. When I reached the lean-to, at 2:30, I had a Snickers bar and a cup of water. For dinner I¢m having Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Sauce over macaroni noodles, and I¢ll wash that down with a 12 litter of water. ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS:  The trail was all uphill today. It made for a long day. Rocks, roots and muck . . . same old, same old ¢ it¢s Maine, after all.  SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: I¢m staying at the Bemis Mountain Lean-to, where some idiot took a dump in the water supply! We heard about it at the bottom of the mountain, and we each hauled a gallon of water up here with us.                                                                                                                         PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked with Rene today. We came across some nobo¢s (north-bounders), but just made small talk. ANIMALS SEEN:  Let¢s see . . . I¢ve seen bugs, of course, a toad, and a spider about the size of a nickel. MONEY SPENT OR SAVED:   No money spent today. MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY:  My concern today was the water issue. We hauled water to the shelter and had to slow down our drinking for the night, all because some jerk(s) took a dump in the water source up here. Wow!! Even out here there are assholes!  SPECIAL NOTES: Because I have to cut back on water, I want it more. SUMMARY FOR THE DAY:  I didn¢t sleep well last night, and it made for a long day. I made it 8 miles up the side of the mountain, but I did not want to. I have 20 or so more days before the mountains will get smaller and my miles will go up. It looks as if it¢s going to be a cold night.  Well, it¢s time to eat, and then off to bed. TTFN.

From: Bemis Mountain Lean-to

To: Andover, Maine
Miles today: 8.7
Weather: overcast clouds

7/25/2011Time: 8:20 p.m. DISTANCE TRAVELED: 8.7 miles FROM/TO: From Bemis Mountain Lean-to to Andover, Maine  WEATHER: The weather was cool, comparable to recent days, and it began to rain around 2:30.  MEALS: I had 3 packages of instant oatmeal for breakfast, and drank one litter of water. My first snack was a Butterfinger, and my second snack was Pop-Tarts. I ate two Snickers bars as other snacks. Then I hit town. There I ate two (2!!) chili cheese hotdogs with a large side of fries, along with a litter of Pepsi. After that I ordered an 8-inch pizza ¢to go¢ and picked up some groceries. Later, I ate the pizza and drank half a litter of milk (still working on the rest.) I also drank four small Mud Slides and had a glass of red wine. Oh, yeah . . . I also ate a banana and drank some lemonade at the trail head. ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: Up, up, up and . . . downhill. Steep downhill for 1.8 miles. The road was nice. One of the other guys had a phone with a signal and made arrangements for a shuttle into town for the three of us. But, it¢s still Maine, so the trail was rocky, muddy, rooty and hard on feet and knees. SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: I stayed at the Pine Ellis Hostel, in the back bunkroom.  PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked with Achilles (Rene) ANIMALS SEEN: Hmmm . . . Yep, you guessed it . . . Bugs! But not too many since it was colder. I also saw a toad, a small bird, and a chipmunk. Alvin, I think. MONEY SPENT OR SAVED:  Damn if I didn¢t spend about $116! MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: Nothing weighed heavy on my mind today. It was a good day. SPECIAL NOTES: It started to rain about the last 15 minutes of our hike, but the shuttle pulled up not two minutes after I hit the road, then the others hit the road as well. SUMMARY FOR THE DAY: Even though the physical part of hiking is hard work, it is enjoyable and fun.  I am having a good time. All the folks who have been putting in big miles from the beginning are working themselves right off the Trail Their bodies just can¢t take the abuse. TTFN and ¢night all.

From: Andover, Maine

To: Hall Mountain Lean-to
Miles today: 4.1

7/26/2011Time: 6:45 p.m. DISTANCE TRAVELED: 4.1 miles FROM/TO: From the Pine Ellis Hostel in Andover, Maine to the HallMountain Lean-to. WEATHER: Today¢s weather was WET!! It drizzled most of the day after raining most of the night. Then about 6:45 p.m., the thunderstorms moved in, with hail.   MEALS: For breakfast I ate a can of Chef Boyardee Ravioli, and drank a litter of Pepsi. I had water and a Protein Power Bar for one snack, and a Payday candy bar and Pop-Tarts for another. At the lean-to I snacked on another Power Bar while preparing my dinner which was two packages of chicken flavor Ramen noodles, and don¢t forget . . . water to drink. ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: We¢re still in Maine, so we walked over one mountain, and up another. We walked up about 6000 feet and down about 3600 feet in the 4.1 miles. Still . . rocks, roots, and mud, on the A.T. of Maine! SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: I spent the night in the Hall Mountain Lean-to, through a hail/thunderstorm. PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked with Achilles all day, and we camped together, too. ANIMALS SEEN: It¢s been cool and wet today, so not many bugs. Yahoo!!! At the lean-to, a really brave chipmunk has made itself known. I hope the weather will keep it from devising a way to get to our hanging food bags. That¢s it¢s job, you know.  MONEY SPENT OR SAVED: I spent another $17 before I left town. I¢ve added more snacks to my daily diet. MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: I had Pepster on my mind today. He would¢ve had to hike 13 miles to meet up with us. It¢s 7:00 p.m., and a thunderstorm is raging. I hope he made camp at the bottom of the mountain and is not still hiking in this storm. Tomorrow we¢ll hike ten miles to the next lean-to. Maybe he¢ll do the difference and catch us then. Hope he is safe. SPECIAL NOTES: After being so hot and humid while hiking, sitting here with the temp around 70 degrees, and the rain pouring down, and with the breeze, it¢s damn cold! SUMMARY FOR THE DAY: It was a low-mile, wet, and cold day on the A.T. in Maine. TTFN.
Date: 2011-07-27
From: Hall Mountain Lean-to

To: Frye Notch Lean-to
Miles today: 10.5
Weather: scattered clouds

7/27/2011Time: 6:20 p.m.  DISTANCE TRAVELED: 10.5 miles FROM/TO: From Hall Mountain Lean-to to Frye Notch Lean-to WEATHER: It rained all morning, and when it stopped, all the water from the trees kept falling. I was soaked! MEALS: I had a bowl of cereal, some Pop-Tarts, and water to drink for breakfast. I snacked on a Power Bar and some water, and later, more Pop-Tarts and more water. I had some Good & Plenty candy, along with some water, for a snack in the afternoon. When we got to the shelter, I snacked on a Payday candy bar and water, then for dinner I had tomato sauce over noodles, with water to drink.  ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: The trail was wet and muddy and studded with rocks and roots, uphill and downhill. It¢s Maine, what can I say. SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: I slept in the Frye Notch Lean-to. PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked by myself, but Rene met up with me at the shelter. We got word from some faster sobo¢s, Frog and Moose, that Pepster is camping at the road 4 miles back.  ANIMALS SEEN: I saw a moose at camp. MONEY SPENT OR SAVED: I have spent no money today. MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: I was concerned about my feet being wet all day, and what damage that may cause. When I got to the shelter, though, and aired them out, I found that they¢re doing well. SPECIAL NOTES: Being wet sucks! SUMMARY FOR THE DAY: Started the day out late for a hiker, and kept it down to 10.5 miles. If I was not slowing down to celebrate Pepster¢s completion of the A.T. with him, I would have pushed on to the next lean-to which is 3.7 or so miles away. I have food, and my body is ready for more mileage. It is probably good, though, that I am taking it slow. Well, ¢night and TTFN.

From: Frye Notch Lean-to

To: Baldpate Lean-to
Miles today: 7.5
Weather: few clouds

7/28/2011Time: 7:37 p.m. DISTANCE TRAVELED: 3.5 miles, and then the 4 miles that I hiked because I passed the lean-to trail by 2 miles and had to backtrack. FROM/TO: From the Frye Notch Lean-to to the Baldpate Lean-to.  WEATHER: It was a cool and fairly clear day, a great day for hiking. MEALS: I had cold oatmeal and Pop-Tarts, with water, for breakfast. I snacked on a Power Bar and water on my first break, and then Pop-Tarts and water on my second break. On a third break, I ate a candy bar. For dinner I had chicken flavored rice, and water to drink. ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: The condition of the trail is the same as it has been, but I¢m adding that it¢s not well marked. SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS:  I stayed in the very crowded Baldpate Lean-to.  PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked alone, but twice passed people I had already passed because I missed the trail to the shelter. ANIMALS SEEN: I, of course, saw the moose that worked all night to get at our food at the last shelter. I also saw a few toads, a red squirrel at this shelter that seems to be ready for the night shift, and don¢t forget all the biting bugs of Maine. MONEY SPENT OR SAVED: I picked up 51 cents from the last two shelters, but haven¢t had an opportunity to spend any money today. MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: Today I was thinking about celebrating with Pepster until I figured out that I had passed the lean-to by two miles. I made it back, and Pepster made it too. SPECIAL NOTES: I have been told that southern Maine is the hardest part of the Trail. Some nobo¢s say it¢s even harder than the Whites in New Hampshire. I will be finding out soon if that¢s true. SUMMARY FOR THE DAY: I slept-in late today, leaving for what was supposed to be a 3.5 mile hike, at 10:30 a.m. I started hiking and must¢ve done it with my head in the clouds. I figured that because I was going uphill, and taking lots of breaks, that my speed would be about a mile an hour, which would put me at the lean-to around 2:00 p.m. Well, after getting over the mountain, I came upon a box to register for the A.T. club, and looked for the shelter but found no sign. I looked at my watch and it was 2:00 p.m.  Thinking that I had to be close, I walked on . . . for an hour, or two miles. Anyway, just before the box, I had missed the trail to the lean-to. I made it back, and then went up the mountain to make sure that Pepster didn¢t do the same. TTFN.

From: Baldpate Lean-to

To: Old Speck Mountain
Miles today: 6.0

7/29/2011Time: 7:30 p.m. DISTANCE TRAVELED: Hiked about 6 miles; rode about 65 miles. FROM/TO: First we hiked from the Baldpate Lean-to to the parking area at Grafton Notch. Then we were driven to Gorham and back to Grafton Notch, after which we hiked up the mountain, south on the A.T., to Old Speck Mountain, about 3 miles. WEATHER: It was humid all day, and it started to rain around 6:30. They¢re forecasting heavy rain throughout the night. MEALS: I ate Pop-Tarts for breakfast, with water to drink. I had a snack later of a Protein bar and Pop-Tarts, with water to drink. At our celebration meal for Pepster, I had a salad and Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti, and garlic bread. I drank water and Pepsi with my meal, and had ice cream for dessert. I also got a 12¢ meatball sub that I shared with Rene for supper later, around 7:00 p.m. ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: In the morning, the trail was mostly downhill, and, of course, rocky, rooty, and muddy, but fast to travel on. The road into Gorham was rough, with lots of work needed. It was a two-lane highway all the way. The trail up the mountain was steeply uphill, rocky, rooty, muddy and slippery. We went up 2500 feet. SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: I slept in my tent on the top of Old Speck Mountain. PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked with Pepster and Achilles (Rene) today. We met some nobo¢s and some sobo¢s but I don¢t remember their names. ANIMALS SEEN: I saw a few types of birds today, a couple of toads, one dog, and . . . bugs. MONEY SPENT OR SAVED: I spent $100 today. I got a new stove, a spoon, and a pan to cook in and eat out of. Plus, I sent Tom my old stove top, even though it was broken; my mess kit, which was too small for my meals; and my one-pound, stainless steel spoon/fork/knife/can opener.  MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: Today I was occupied with giving Pepster a great and memorable finish. SPECIAL NOTES: I took a picture of Pepster that I need to send to him, my tent has some leaks that I need to fix, and my body does not switch from town food to hiker food well. Gassy! Gassy! Gassy! Whooo-wee!! SUMMARY FOR THE DAY: I¢m not writing a summary tonight. ¢Night!

7/31/2011Time:  8:09 p.m.  DISTANCE TRAVELED: 9.6 miles FROM/TO: From the Full Goose Shelter/Campsite in Maine to the Gentian Pond Shelter/Campsite in New Hampshire. WEATHER: Clear skies today, with temps in the 80¢s. MEALS: I started the day with Raisin Bran and Pop-Tarts for breakfast, and water to drink. On my first break, I snacked on a Power Bar and water, and later I had some Good & Plenty candy and water. We stopped to eat a hot lunch, and I made myself two packages of Ramen noodles. We took water breaks in the afternoon, and during one of them I ate a Payday candy bar. For dinner I ate Oriental flavored Ramen noodles mixed with Lipton Beef Noodles. It was tasty. ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: I have to say that the trail seemed easier today even though it was still rocky, rooty, muddy, and all uphill and downhill. SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: My first night in New Hampshire is being spent in the Gentian Pond Shelter. It is a four-sided hut with a big opening as an entrance. PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked with Achilles all day. We keep playing leap frog with Whisky Bumpkins, Log Walker, and Running Man. ANIMALS SEEN: Saw lots of birds today, and a couple of moose. One moose was a cow (a mama moose), and the other, her calf (a young, or baby moose.) MONEY SPENT OR SAVED: I¢ve spent nothing today. MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: I wasn¢t concerned about anything I can think of today. SPECIAL NOTES: I¢m very happy that I¢ve made it through Maine, and that I¢m finally in New Hampshire. SUMMARY FOR THE DAY:  Today was a good day of hiking. The trail didn¢t seem too hard, and we didn¢t feel like we were pushing. We had lots of breaks, a long lunch, and got into camp about 6:00 p.m., even after a slow start after 9:00 a.m. I saw, and took a photo of, a bird in the middle of the trail. I also had a picture taken of me on top of a mountain, and I tried to get a picture of a moose. Tomorrow we walk into Gorham, about a 12 mile hike, for two nights and a day. Then we set off to take on the next hard part of the A.T. ¢ the White Mountains!! Yahoo!! Bring ¢em on!! TTFN.

From: Gentian Pond Shelter/Campsite

To: Gorham, New Hampshire
Miles today: 11.8
Weather: clear sky

8/01/2011Time:  9:35 p.m.  DISTANCE TRAVELED: 11.8 miles FROM/TO:  From the Gentian Pond Shelter/Campsite to Gorham, New Hampshire where I¢ll stay two nights and one day. WEATHER: Hot! It was hot and muggy today, with little breeze. Then, around 7:45 p.m., there was a rain storm. MEALS: For breakfast, I had Pop-Tarts and a Power Bar, with water to drink. I ate a Payday candy bar and Fig Newton cookies, and drank water, for my first snack; and I had another Payday and water for my second snack. My third snack of the day was Pop-Tarts and my last Payday, with water to wash it down. For dinner, however, I ate 2 Double Cheeseburgers, 2 Mushroom & Swiss Burgers, and a small French Fries from Burger King, and I washed all that down with an Orange Powerade! ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: The trail was the same as it has been, but it seemed to drag on today. Perhaps because I was anxious to be in town. The short section of road we had to walk on was narrow, some of it dirt, and the rest paved ¢ about a mile. SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: I¢m staying at the White Mountain Lodge hostel. Nobo¢s say it¢s the best hostel on the Trail. We¢ll see.  PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked with Achilles all the way in. We caught up with Whisky Bumpkins and Log Walker, and there are two other sobo¢s here, too, Running Man and Zach Miller. The nobo¢s here just want to be done, and aren¢t talking a whole lot. ANIMALS SEEN: Beside the usual ¢wildlife¢ I see every day, we came across a porcupine about 10 feet off the trail. MONEY SPENT OR SAVED: I haven¢t saved any money today, and won¢t tomorrow, either. Today I spent $12 for dinner, and $25 for the first night at the hostel. Tomorrow will be the big money day ¢ I go shopping!  MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: I think my main concern today was just getting into town. SPECIAL NOTES: I think there should be an A.T. dictionary! SUMMARY FOR THE DAY: The day was long and hot. However, it wasn¢t rushed. The trail moved fast, but the last two miles still took too long. When I finally made it to the hostel, I took a wonderful shower! Then I weighed myself ¢ 198 pounds ¢ and decided to go eat. I will, hopefully, be speaking to some of you soon. TTFN

To: Ghorham, NH
Miles today: 0.0
Weather: overcast clouds

8/02/2011Time:  8:33 p.m.  DISTANCE TRAVELED: 0 miles FROM/TO: I stayed in Gorham today. WEATHER: It¢s been cool and wet; rained most of the day. MEALS: I had a breakfast burrito, two hash browns, a blueberry muffin, two glasses of water and three or four glasses of orange juice for breakfast. I drank a 20 oz. Pepsi and ate two teriyaki beef sticks for a snack/lunch. And I snacked on peanut butter the rest of the afternoon ¢ a half a jar at this point. For dinner, I drank one litter of strawberry milk with two Lunchables ¢ turkey & cheese crackers with cookies. Then I ate more peanut butter. And I drank a glass . . . OK, two glasses . . . of red wine. It¢s good for the heart, you know. ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: I imagine the trail was wet after the rain today. I¢ll find out in the morning. SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: I'm spending tonight at the White Mountain Hostel. It¢s a very nice place, and the people work hard to make you feel at home. PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I didn¢t hike today, so I didn¢t hike with anyone. There are about 20 hikers here at the hostel tonight ¢ three sobo¢s and the rest nobo¢s. It has been fun to meet so many people with almost the same mission. We are all ready to help each other out to reach our goals. It¢s a nice feeling. ANIMALS SEEN: The only animals I¢ve seen today are the hostel¢s dog and cat. MONEY SPENT OR SAVED: I¢ve saved no money today. I¢ve spent a total of $337 for hostel fees; food while in town and food for six day¢s of hiking; replacement parts for, and of, equipment that has broken; and for a pay-as-you-go phone that works in this neck of the woods, and don¢t forget the cost of the minutes that had to be put on it. Wow! Put me back in the woods, it¢s cheaper for me there! MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: Today I was concerned about getting a phone that will work if I have an emergency, and for contacting some folks back home.  SPECIAL NOTES: Resting is good, but it is time to get back at it. SUMMARY FOR THE DAY: I got up and ate, read for two hours, went to Walmart, came back, unpacked bags, ate, took a nap, got up and ate, went to the post office, went back to Walmart, played for a bit online, got the new phone up and running, ate some more, had some wine, talked to some people, brushed my teeth and started writing this. Now it¢s off to bed for me. ¢Night to everyone. TTFN.

From: Ghorham, NH

To: Imp Shelter/Campsite
Miles today: 8.0
Weather: fog

Log #388/3/2011Time: 5:20 p.m. DISTANCE TRAVELED: 8 miles. FROM/TO: From Gorham to Imp Shelter/Campsite WEATHER: It was cool and overcast most of the day. The sun came out after 3:30, with some clouds. MEALS: I ate an egg and sausage breakfast burrito and two hash browns, and I drank three glasses of orange juice and a glass of water for breakfast. I had 3 snacks consisting of Power Bars and water. For dinner I had two packages of beef flavored Ramen noodles, with Kool Ade to drink. ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: The trail was fast at first, but after two hours it got really steep. It was still full of rocks and roots with mud, but not as extreme. SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: I stayed at the Imp shelter, and did some work to stay there instead of paying $8.00. PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked with Achilles and passed a few nobo¢s. ANIMALS SEEN: Saw no animals to speak of. MONEY SPENT OR SAVED: I didn¢t have to spend any money today, but did do some work to stay at the shelter instead of paying 8 bucks - so I guess I saved 8 bucks.  MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: I¢m wondering if the Whites are harder than Maine. I guess that tomorrow will tell us. We hit a big mountain tomorrow. SPECIAL NOTES: It was good to hear the voices of people back home. I¢m glad I got the phone. SUMMARY FOR THE DAY: Today was not awful, and I could have hiked farther. The shelters and tent sites kind of dictate where you can stay if you don¢t know the area. I am going to read for a bit now. I am reading Survivor¢s Club on my Nook, and I¢m enjoying it. Well, Good Night. TTFN.

To: .3 of a mile past Carter Notch Hut
Miles today: 7.0
Weather: fog

8/4/2011Time: 6:16 p.m. DISTANCE TRAVELED: 7 miles FROM/TO: From Imp Shelter/Campsite to just beyond a quarter mile past the Carter Notch Hut. We asked for ¢work for stay¢ at the Hut, but they told us it was early and we hadn¢t gone that far, so we should walk on. WEATHER: It was overcast when we started hiking today, and got up into the upper 70's in the afternoon. We had some partly cloudy skies for a few hours, and now we having scattered showers. MEALS: I ate 4 packages of instant oatmeal for breakfast, with Kool-Aid as a drink. My first snack of the day was a Snickers Marathon Protein Bar, and water. I had a second snack of a Balance Bar, and water. And my third snack of the day was two Balance Bars. We stopped by a stream to get water, so I had two cups of Kool-Aid. For dinner I had Three-Cheese Alfredo Noodles with a pack of Ramen noodles mixed in, along with Kool-Aid to drink.  ROAD/TRAIL CONDITIONS: We had a lot of altitude changes, but not too many miles. The trail is not as rooty and rocky as it is in Maine. SHELTER USED/SLEEPING QUARTERS: I slept in my tent. I had hoped to stay at my first Hut. PEOPLE MET, HIKED WITH OR SEEN: I hiked with Achilles and Phoenix, but Phoenix met up with a girl he knew and went MIA. ANIMALS SEEN: Today I¢ve seen a few birds, a squirrel and two dogs. MONEY SPENT OR SAVED: I have spent no money. MAIN CONCERN OF THE DAY: I was concerned about whether or not we could stay at the Hut. Well, we couldn¢t, so we walked on about .3 of a mile and popped up our tents. SPECIAL NOTES: AMC is supposed to mean ¢Appalachian Mountain Club.¢ But most hikers say it really means ¢Appalachian Money Club.¢  SUMMARY FOR THE DAY: We started out at 8:30 a.m., and took our time. It wasn¢t a bad hike today. We took many breaks, and had hoped to spend our first night in an AMC Hut. The caretaker there was very short with us. She even forgot to see if we were willing to pay. We were simply ¢dismissed¢. . . no people skills. We made camp just outside the Hut¢s reign of control. You see, there is no tenting allowed within a quarter mile of a Hut or AMC sites. Well, I¢m off to read some. ¢Night. TTFN
