Last fall, the hiking was wet. It rained every weekend, and when it wasn't raining, the trails were streams. Chuck and I started hiking this season almost 2 months ago. We have managed exactly 4 hikes: once we weren't turned back by snow; once we summited Caribou, once we started up Goose Eye, only to be poured on and turned back by a stream too high to cross. Yesterday, we went to Mt Apatite in Auburn, just to get out of the house. We encountered ankle deep mud covering the trail and the worst crop of mosquitoes Chuck has ever seen!
So, my posts have been as sparse as a sunny day here in Maine. With any luck, we'll be able to hit the trail next weekend! This time we won't forget the bug dope!
