Hello and thank you for the input and suggestion. I use my Garmin 64sx (these screen grabs are from the Garmin BaseCamp Mapping program) and with extra batteries it really does well with my navigational needs. Getting off trail is not my Maine concern it taking the one chance with a foot hold or hand hold that I should not take where I get myself injured or rolling an ankle or doing something similar. I am not a fatalist, but it’s a thought. With enough extra batteries with my GPS and headlamp I…

So after some thinking if I get my friend to meet me up there I will take the Abol Route out and back, but I will stop at Thoreau Spring. I would be starting at 1307 feet +/- and going up to 4625 feet +/- and if I was around this type of terrain my whole life I would feel differently, but safety comes first. The day light hours will be shorter and I am guessing it will take this jarhead 8 hours out and back if everthing goes w/o a hitch. I dont want to go solo and be hiking out in terrain I dont…

Umm at times I am not the sharpest tack in the box so here are my questions! I went to the BSP sight and I made an account. So, they only allow you to make a reservation within a weeks time period? Am I missing something?

I will be staying at Big Eddy Campground and these plans are a plan "B" if I want to do something else if I dont elect to hike in and float tube a pond or fish the West Branch. I like having my options open and I will look into the permit sitation for the given areas. In looking at the routes and the elevation difference I think if I do one of the more difficult hikes it will be the trek from Katahdin Camp Ground to Thoreau Spring. I don…

Does anyone know if the bridge is out or in @ Katahdin Stream Bridge? From the photos it looks like its totally passible as long as shes not ripping along.

Hello Folks new boot here, but not new to hiking. Well I will find myself for three days in the Baxter area. I will be solo and my prime objective is digital photography and fly fishing. If mother nature starts to act like a reluctant toddler weather wise I was thinking about a hike on the fabled AT. This will be a short hike only 3-7 miles. If I can get my friend to join me I would be up for a 9 mile hike. With those parameters what are your fave stretches being onky 3 - 9 miles long? Thank you…
