Date(s) Hiked: 9/20/2008
Trails(s) Hiked: Nothing man-made(Farrar Mtn), except for roads taken
Total Distance: Driven: 60, Hiked: ~2.5
Difficulty: Low
Conditions: Unlimited Sunshine, Temperature: mid to high 60s(F)
Special Required Equipment: None
Trip Report:
This is a rather disfunctional TR..but I, at least, wanted to get my images in, a little hiking...with a close friend(and ripping Rockie Mtn skier), Kate= the official photographer....me: trail/old-cutting-road-finder, and her daughter Stephanie: official wildlife spotter, thus Kate's camera possesses the expedition's hiking pics, short as they were..down to...and back from natural low-priority landmarks stretching from the Penobscot River's West Branch(adjacent to Katahdin Range) southward to a small mountain(Farrar Mtn), and onward south to Moosehead Lake's eastern side. We brought a lightweight kevlar 17' canoe/paddles/PFDs/foam pedestal for 3rd person...so it isn't a stretch of the imagination whose hands were full, thus I only got to snap these shots when we stopped...and given my effort at getting the settings right, I think we'll switch next time..;-)
*Apologies for the duplicate shots of the stream/river, as opposed to a nice hike. The lower-in-the-sky September sun really brings the blue out in clear water in the afternoons.
