Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler That's My Boy!!

I have only done the quick day hike up Mount Katahdin which directly borders an Appalachian trail head. We met some hikers coming in when we were camping the night before the hike. They had some interesting stories (and some very boring stories but I guess it's all relative to how long you have been alone in the woods.) One thing though, we smelled them coming long before we saw them. But that is also to be expected.

Note:
If you haven't done it. Katahdin is a truly wonderful hiking experience for the uninitiated. You can do it in a day, you don't have to be in uber shape to claim that you reached the top of a mountain and the final few clicks require that you use your hands a bit to make it a bit more thrilling but still pretty friendly to the average Joe. Nothing like real mountain climbing, mind you. But you still you always want to have three contact points at all times as it's a longgggg tumble if you slip.
