Monson, Maine September 30, 2014 -Mile 2070

Lakeshore House, Monson, Maine
 
The Lakeshore House  is the location that Tom spent Tuesday night, September 30, 2014.  There are 110 remaining miles in his hike!  Tomorrow the hikers will start hiking the 100 mile wilderness area. It is generally considered the wildest section of the Appalachian Trail, and one of the most challenging to navigate and traverse. This section of the A.T. is crossed by several logging roads and is maintained by the Maine Appalachian Trail Club.  Kevin will be joining Tom the morning of October 5.  It is likely that the next communication will be once Tom and Kevin actually are at the summit; which is Baxter Peak on Mt. Katahdin; Maine's highest mountain.   This is scheduled to be October 8 or 9 weather depending. Photos will be posted as soon as available.
