I'd hiked 15 different mountains this summer, but none of them were mountains on my "To Do" list (the 4000 footers in the state of Maine). So I really wanted to hit at least two of them before I called it quits on hiking for the year and went back to work.
I have some friends who are in pretty good shape, so I asked them if they would be willing to do TWO 4000 foot peaks in one day with me. They were willing (though afterward they informed me that next time THEY were picking the mountain!)
The reason I wanted to do two is, Saddleback Horn is only accessible by way of either Saddleback or Saddleback Jr. In other words, you can't get to it without hiking ANOTHER mountain first.
We started about an hour after daybreak on the Appalachian Trail. The AT is not really well maintained here (as of 2008); it was surprisingly muddy, and many of the log bridges over the mud were quite rotten.
Bring an extra pair of socks or two with you, because if you (more...)
