finding my path through the vines
this is a long post......but worth it! On the morning we were to climb Katahdin we were all pretty excited to get going. All packed up and ready to go by 6 am. There was a quick stop at the ranger station. You can borrow a day-pack or just leave some of your things there.... Continue Reading →
Pretty much my last day in the 100 mile wilderness, it rained. For like 20 miles I hiked in the rain. I was not all that happy about it, mostly because it would rain then kinda stop, then start again. Wearing the Frogtogg poncho I snagged from a hiker box, I draped my other poncho...

"You have to believe we are magic Nothin' can stand in our way. You have to believe we are magic Don't let your aim ever stray And if all your hopes survive Your destiny will arrive" So its day 3 or 4 in the 100 mile wilderness. Its hard to say really the days blurr... Continue Reading →
So this is how the 100 mile wilderness went... First off i was all hyped to be going it alone, into the wilderness. Nope. Holy crap there are a lot of folks in the "wilderness". For instance i never camped alone, which was weird but fine. First night i set up my tent, i was... Continue Reading →
"Hey / Don’t write yourself off yet / It’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on" So I'm mixing things up a bit. Headed into the 100 mile wilderness northbound. Then back to southbound the the rest, since my flight is out of Portland anyway. I've been a bit anxious,... Continue Reading →
In the end we are our stories..... We (Coco, Nemo and i) stayed 2 nights at the Human Nature Hostel (maybe it was the bacon wrapped scallops and beet salad dinner that convinced us, seriously so good. It also kept us out of the rain storm) If you happen to be in Roxbury, NH check... Continue Reading →
So there's been pain and rain....guess who's in Maine!! Man, New Hampshire did not ease up. I survived the White Mtns and the Presidential range, but my shoes did not. I got to the town of Gorham, stayed the night to rest but rolled ankle and get new shoes. I bush whacked my way up... Continue Reading →
I've been meaning to post, but well things change by the minute out here. So here's what's up. So Moosilauke was my biggest nightmare. It took me just as long getting up as it did coming down. It was tough. Slippery rocks and roots that reach up an grab. I tumbled and fell so many... Continue Reading →
Laying here in the hostel bed, everyone's sleep but me. Can't sleep, in the morning I will wish I had. Tomorrow we tackle Moosilauke and enter the White Mountains. I have no idea what challenges are ahead but I know they are out there. I try to sound confident and casual as I talk with... Continue Reading →
