Screw Auger Falls
Tracey, Sean, Mark, Kathy at Pleasant River crossing
And they're off...again
Sean is grateful to survive his death defying leap. See first picture above for scale.
What a choice...Moxie or Coke? and note Whoopie Pie in other hand
Which way do we go? And do I have to go back to work
on Monday if I turn around and go South?Posting this for Mark and Sean...they are in the middle of the Hundred Mile Wilderness, heading for Baxter. We found them on Saturday 9/2, near Gulf Hagas, walking out of the woods exactly at the time they predicted. Sean sauntered out carrying a whoopie pie and a Coke, making me wonder if they had actually been hiking or merely dropped off by a passing logging truck. (Trail magic had provided the sustenance.) After a lunch of turkey sandwiches, fresh fruit, carrots, chips, cookies, Powerade, and Moxie (for Sean,) they re-supplied with the provisions I brought. After fording the river, Tracey and I hiked with them to Screw Auger Falls. Sean jumped from a 20 foot ledge into the waterfall pool, hoping that he would survive to finish the hike! Wednesday I will meet them at Daicey Pond, where we will stay the night in Cabin #4. The final ascent of the AT, Mt. Katahdin, will begin early on Thursday, weather permitting. Companion hikers welcome!
