With our move Annie goes 45 mile each way to work 9 times a fortnight. The nearest shop is 12 miles away. She has an economical Subaru. I now have a 10yo diesel 4wd. We try to minimize our mileage but until the old house sells I think we will just have to suck it up.

I blame screen resolution issues... I thought a snake.

Remind me one day when I have had a bit to drink to tell you about how I plugged the hotel toilet in Griswold Connecticut....

Costs me more than $100 each time I go up and down between my new and old homes. Done it nearly 30 times this year. Fuel bill this year for Annie and me is already over $5000 and it's 1st September.

Around a $1.30 a litre here. About $3-$4 US a gallon. You get no sympathy from me.

Nice encounter. Be careful. You wouldn't want to have the tablet drop out of your pocket as you're backing up....

Yeah whatever. It's looney man.

John Stempur takes any coolers left near his hostel as "it's littering". He has an odd mixture of drinks for sale (warm) in his garage and a large stack of coolers. He said he broke up the styrofoam ones.

I would tell you what all Australians are but it involves mostly those few words the moderators don't allow. But PA is dragged down by a certain Mr Stempur....

Nice. I'm sure if I squint I can see Russia in that first pic....

I definitely would like the terminus to stay at Katahdin. Springer is not so iconic. If they moved that to Blood Mountain say, it wouldn't be an issue. But I fear that the restrictions in BSP will cause it to cease as terminus unless there is an unlikely about face by Bissell and co.

Yep. No unnecessary baggage.

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from Mountain-Mike: “They held off a NP. Think they are worried about a bunch of stinking hikers? Their ball, their rules. Just glad I did my thru when I did.

I don't see it happening either Mike, but I would love for someone in Maine to go through the old titles and find something.

Quote from odd man out: “At a church bible study many years ago, our pastor commented that according to our denomination's teachings, divine inspiration that resulted in the authoring of sacred texts ended with the books of the Christian Bible.

(Hidden Content) Quote from Mountain-Mike: “Quote from OzJacko: “Here's one for those of you who like to research. My searching shows Baxter bought 6000 acres "around" Katahdin from Great Northern Paper Mills in 1930. Looking at the Mills history I cannot see detail of how they got the land originally. Katahdin has no commercial value to a paper mill. Was there any limitation to their original title to Katahdin? This could have been a limitation on what they had a right to sell Baxter. Don't for…
