Sounds like a plan. I know my brother who's been hiking the Northeast for 25+ years but has never been to Kathadin, would love to go. I think we should keep the group rather small though - maybe 6 or 8 folks tops...Max said:I tell you Greg, that is some awesome place to go hiking! If you've never been there, it is truly inspiring, and it'll leave you with your mouth wide open when you first see the place up close. Making overnight reservations there is a pain in the butt. However, perhaps it would be cool to organize a trip to Baxter next year and post the intention here early enough that we could get some sign-ups and that would allow us the impetus to make the necessary reservations. I know my son would love to go there, and I also know this place is made for you as well. We've got a couple months to rattle this around before making reservations on January 1st...what do you think of the idea of planning a Katahdin trip and trying to come up with a mutual date that would allow a group from Alpine Zone to go hike for a few days. I'd be willing to help organize a trip and make the needed reservations, etc. Perhaps something in August or September next year so folks could plan vacation time around it. We could do a 2 or 3 day deal, allowing people the chance to climb the 2 Kathadin peaks and also other 4000 footers and 100 highest in the area.
