What I did last weekend

[A Dhuglas]

Thanks for posting and the pics. Very nice. Looks like you had an awesome day for the climb. Gets a little chilly up there when the wind is working -- it's the payoff for the sweat equity invested. Looks like you went up Knife Edge, no?

My only foray up Katahdin so far -- with a much thinner/physically fit me and my brother-in-law -- was through Chimney Pond and the 'less scary' trail on the opposite side of the mountain. Toasty/humid in the woods but once clear of the treeline - refreshing.

Dead east of Katahdin, right on the Maine/New Brunswick border is 'home.' At least, the place I feel is home since it was the one constant in a wandering childhood. Pine trees, granite, cold lakes...finestkind!

Oh...and nice kilt! Must've been a thrill for any Girl Scouts below you

I went up the Hunt Trail (also the Appalachian Trail); the Knife Edge is even more extreme than what I pictured! No Girl Scouts, but last year I did a handstand when I finished the AT.
