Wilderness Rescue of a Woman in the White Mountains – AT Thru-Hike Day 47

September 11, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Gale Head Hut, White Mountains Well, what a day! I woke up late this morning and I left Ethan Pond around 8:45 am. I covered the first 4.5 miles by 10:30am. I was really moving. The trail was smoothed gravel, remnant of an old railroad bed. I stopped by Zealand Falls Hut for leftover […]

Death has his hand on the boy in the woods – AT Thru-Hike Day 36

August 16, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Frye Notch I left Andover with a full pack today. I had expected to reach Baldpate Mountain lean-to across the open ridgeline of the mountain, but I only reached Frye Notch. I felt sick for most of the morning because of a hangover from the night before with Sean Boyle and his sons. I […]

Hiking Saddleback Mountains – AT Thru-Hike Day 30

August 2, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

After a long day yesterday, I had a much better day today. We crossed Saddleback Jr., The Horn, and Saddleback Mountain. I took some good pictures, I hope. The mountains were difficult, of course; but we hiked six miles above tree line which made the hike unique. We had lunch on Saddleback. As we headed […]

Poplar Ridge Hiking – AT Thru-Hike Day 29

July 30, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

We hiked a difficult 13 miles today. While no day longer than 10 miles is easy, today’s hike took us to peaks over 4000ft and valleys between peaks at 1500ft. At the end to the day, Stick, Turtle, and I debated whether to camp at the river that we had forded or climb to Poplar […]

Second Longest Hike and Worst Fall To Date – AT Thru-Hike Day 19

July 12, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

I left the lean-to this morning before Gino and Kyle had finished their breakfast. Gino snored loudly and I didn’t sleep well. The loons on the pond woke me up this morning. The loons sound like howling dogs, and they talk back and forth at first light. I thought the day might be rainy, however […]

More Floods, Mosquitoes, and Falls – AT Thru-Hike Day 5

June 10, 2013 by Mark Kelley 2 Comments

Location: Unknown Shelter Never again will I suspect that a day will be easy. Yesterday I thought the ten miles planned for today would be a cinch. Little did I know that I was setting myself up for disappointment. There are no easy miles in Maine, I’ll say every day. Though the trail today was […]
