The 100th member is asking about the 100 mile wilderness. I like it. When I saw the title I was gong to suggest after the 2nd week in July to make sure the black flies are gone. Mid August or September? Either would be fine with me. Less chance of rain as the year drags on. Less chance of cool weather in August.Non hikers are about a psi shy of a legal ball.

kayweber,welcome to the cafe.
late august/early september is perfect. the bugs are gone, the days still warm, and nights comfortably cool.if you wait until after labor day, the trails are less crowded, as summer brings boy scouts and girl scouts, vacationers, and like lobosolo said thru hikers.
either way,its all good.its all good -

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Looking forward to the planning and the actual hike, even though it is still a while.
Kayweber, Welcome to the AT Cafe!
I love the planning part, even if everything changes once you get out there. A good consolation when you can not get out there yet.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

the 100 mile wilderness is nowhere as remote as it sounds, and you can arrange resupply either through shaws in monson or phil pepin out of monson. they can do food drops at jo mary rd and katahdin iron works rd near gulf hagas. the at lodge in millinocket also does food drops.
gulf hagas is worth the extra few mile loop hike. its a beautiful mini canyon.we even made the trip in the rain and felt it was worth it..antlers campsite one of the nicest spots on the entire at.
the at lodge in millinocket can also do food drops.its all good -

Just think about all the peanut shells that thru hikers could leave on the trail. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
