Black flies were usually done by Memorial Day while I was up there. But if they are going to be bad... they are going to be BAD!!!

I like the way you put that Rev!

I've always heard its the period between Mothers day and Fathers Day that's BAD

That's a tempting trip Mike, I'll have to see how my schedule fills up, so many trips so little time (off)

Mike, I know what you are going thru I ended up doing mine solo also in the fall of 07.
It is hard to get people to go on longer duration hikes.

hello all, I've never been bothered too much by the Maine insects. I have realitives that live in Monson and I grew up camping, river trips and hiking most of Maine. Baxter too many times to count. I know it is tough for many to devote a full week of vacation time to a longer hike but I'm getting older and got to do this one soon...lol

checking in again
just checking in again to see if there was any interest in my hike. I know it is tough to go on an extended trip but I have to do this one before I'm over the hill...lol

looks like spring is here in Maine. I'm going on a trip today in to the Forks and down the Dead River tomorrow...a ton of high water for the rapids but the water is 38 degrees! Wet suit weather....

Would love to join you mm but I am in the process of putting together an 8 day trip starting at Fontana Dam and heading North during that week... I'll be posting it in a week or so, so if your plans change and you want to head south, feel free to join me...
