Just a Bit Outside. July 11, 2014. When we last left our intrepid hiker, she was camped on the shores of the beautiful Penobscot River at Abol Pines, taking a Zero day after her hike out from Baxter State Park…. Nothing but protein bars. For a hundred miles. I’m not so sure I feel so idiotic anymore. It started to rain while I was on the bridge, and by the time I entered the Wilderness a half mile further on, it was coming down pretty hard. It was too dark and rainy to get a good picture, but this is...

Just a Bit Outside. June 6, 2014. Well, I made it. After over 42 hours of traveling — taking three trains, two buses, and a van — through a total of fifteen states, and after long waits and interminable delays, I finally made it here to Millinocket; I’ve made it to The Beginning. I’m staying here for a couple of nights; l want to be as rested and ready as possible before tackling Katahdin. Alas, it will have to wait — this little traveller needs her beauty sleep.

Rainbow Lake | Just a Bit Outside

Just a Bit Outside. July 11, 2014. So the knee is pretty bad. I mean, I don’t want to sound like an alarmist or anything, but it is almost a little alarmingly bad. It is swelled up like a cantaloupe. I can bend it, but putting any weight on it at all causes some really searing pain. I expected to be stiff and sore, but this is ridiculous. It didn’t keep me from sleeping well, though. It was a beautiful night — clear and cool enough to be almost chilly (so whose long underwear are silly. Honestly, having ...

Just a Bit Outside. June 3, 2014. When I was a kid I wanted to be a Boy Scout, like my big brother. Well, that and an astronaut. Yeah, I was. Well I couldn’t be a Boy Scout, of course. Mom did try her best and found me something that was at the time the next best thing a girl my age could hope for: she signed me up for Blue Birds. I think I lasted two weeks. Maybe. Maybe not even two weeks. I mean, we were sitting around some lady’s house, drinking lemonade and. Was the leader of the pack — I. Was the on...
