Go Tell It on (and from) the Mountain!

August 31, 2010 By Paul

Dear Herm’s Hikers, Go tell it on and from the mountain – MOUNTain KATAHDIN that is! As promised, it’s time to backtrack (That’s the last thing an AT hiker wants to do, but we do as we must.) and fill in the gap between Monson and Millinocket. After arriving in Monson, I quickly grew restless […]

The Great White Way (And I ain’t talkin’ Broadway)!

July 23, 2010 By Paul

Dear Herm’s Hikers, To paraphrase the words of Rod Serling from the famous TV show, “Open the door and walk into another dimension where high is low, up is down, wet is dry, valleys are mountains, and summer is winter. But don’t stop walking just yet, for you have just entered the Alpine Zone.” Cue […]
