    September 13, 1983, 43 years ago today: The Appalachian Trail descended alongside Moss Pond's outlet brook to Gentian Pond. A trail shelter was perched atop a small ridge flanked by the pond on one side and another great view to the south on the other. I caught up to a couple of guys there — the first people I had encountered since leaving Gorham.

    September 13, 1983, 43 years ago today: After Page Pond, the AT scaled steeply up to Wocket Ledge, where open rock faces just off the trail provided the best southward views I had yet seen in the Mahoosucs.

    September 11, 1983, 43 years ago today: A long climb up Mount Moriah passed over a bunch of open ledges. Someday, I would like to hike this entire section in nice weather. Today, the clouds had lifted slightly, revealing some hazy views along the ridge crest.

    September 11, 1983, 43 years ago today: I made my best time of the day on the Imp and North Carter trails despite the long climb, making it up in two-and-a-half hours, which put me almost a half-hour ahead of my required pace.

  13. Seeing some of these #FatBear videos. Can’t imagine having to bath a 900 pound bear. Have seen them in the wild only a few times, including one very sleepless rainy night on the #AppalachianTrail with two juveniles hell bent on stealing something, anything, from the campsite. No worries wrt being eaten as they’d run off at loud noises. But they were persistent and stubborn and you probably didn’t want to meet the parents in dead of night. Thankfully they were also lazy so didn’t follow next day

  16. Defenders in #Appalachia Against #MountainValleyPipeline Avoided #FelonyCharges

    "Initially we were charged with #conspiracy. The real conspiracy is between the #prosecutors and the #judges, between the #cops and the #corporations."

    By #AppalachiansAgainstPipelines, #CensoredNews, March 3, 2025

    "Last Tuesday, 12 pipeline fighters had court in Giles County for charges resulting from three different actions against the Mountain Valley Pipeline in 2023 and 2024 in and around the #JeffersonNationalForest, including one site where #MVP was drilling through the mountain under the #AppalachianTrail.

    "Eleven of the defendants accepted non-cooperating plea deals -- all of them were facing absurd felony charges, including
    felony abduction and felony 'unauthorized use of a vehicle.' In the end, they plead to misdemeanor charges and there were NO felony convictions. They were sentenced to community service, probation, and to pay restitution. The court room was PACKED all day long with supporters!"

    GILES COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) - "Around twelve people charged in connection to protests of the controversial Mountain Valley Pipeline appeared in court Tuesday.

    "The charges range from misdemeanors to non-violent felonies, all related to #protestors' efforts to halt #pipeline construction or prevent #drilling."
