Maine and such

Walking in Maine from Patrick S on Vimeo.

The trail shown in the video was actually pretty dry as far as things go. At that point we had several days of sunshine and no rain. You can imagine how wet things were a week earlier.

I decided to throw a few extra photos of Maine up here as well.  I'll get around to putting some newer trips up here soon enough, but these were already on the computer.  I'm still walking around places.

Here is the rest of the Maine pictures I'm putting up. A few of the old port when we stopped in Portland for what turned out to be half the day.

One last night before he summited.

The big K as seen from Abol Bridge

You can't really see it, but thats Katahdin in the background.

Good morning!

Thirsty

Thats all for now. I guess I'll get the New Hampshire photographs up sometime.

Maine

Just a few more pictures from the state of Maine. I'll have some more up soon enough. Also I need some help IDing some of those flowers.

Good idea of what the trail is like in southern ME

Left Toe out in the water cooling off.

Whaazaaaap

Throwing this up online so I have a place to share pictures for everyone. I hope to eventually have all the good pictures from my AT thru-hike up here in one location.

I think I'll start in reverse with the ending and work my way back.



The backside of Katahdin from the Knifes edge. You can see the knife's edge off to the left.



Thats the Knife's edge as seen from Baxter Peak on Mt Katahdin.

I carried a pint of George Dickel Tennessee Whisky the whole trip. A sip at every state line and eventful point (such as the Mason-Dixon). 2 sips left on Katahdin: 1 for me and 1 poured out for all my homies (like Honey Do, Mullet and more) that never got to see the end.


Blondie reflecting on the last moments.

Early morning from Baxter Peak.

Sunrise poking over Baxter peak just as Blondie and I hit the Table Land. We started towards the summit at 2.45am to catch a view like this one.
