"Found" you in Damascus....followed you to the Arch. I grew up in the Whites in the 1970s to 80s and, so, also peeked at your ME to VT clips. Thx for posting all of these...congrats on your thru hike!! Thought you would enjoy knowing folks are still watching these videos. I'm going to trek with you down the AT here while I wait for summer hiking 🚶♂️ again! Blessings on your transition season now!!!
Hope all is well! Did you shuttle from the town to the Hunt Trailhead to start? Did the shuttle leave town really early to be ready to enter State Park at 6:00 a.m.? Thanks!
Hey there! I was with my wife so we just drove into the park. We stayed at a motel the night before, hiked katahdin the next day, then stayed in a lean to by katahdin stream that night. I think almost all other thru hikers stayed at the AT hostel in millinocket the night before and got shuttled in
Bathroom trips would most easily be done below treeline lol. So the first and last hour or so of the hike. Tips would be to start early, plan for 8-10 hours if going at a moderate pace, and be willing to turn back in bad weather. It's an amazing hike!
Happy trails Matt

Step by step and the adventure begins. Enjoy and have fun
Sharing your great vids with the SoBo 2022 Facebook group - glad you went to the cairn!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes, going to the cairn is key. Not many hikers now that.
There we go! Day 1 babyy 🔥 good luck!
What’d y’all have for dinner?
We just picked up sandwiches the day before and kept them in a cooler. We drove in to Baxter State Park so we could leave a lot our stuff in the car

Well done. Elise, how did you handle “bathroom” breaks on this hike? Do you guys have any tips on preparing for or traversing the climb up Katahdin?
