    September 15, 1983, 43 years ago today: When I finally attained that summit, I checked my watch and discovered that it was almost 9:00. I had consumed two hours in hiking two-and-a-half miles. At the rate I had been covering ground the past couple of days, Katahdin was beginning to once more achieve the status of fairy tale.

    September 15, 1983, 43 years ago today: Last night was a memorably cold one, easily topping two very frosty nights I remember from Georgia. Some mornings are so icy you hate to leave your sleeping bag. This morning, I had no choice but to get up and get moving. Having shivered through two final miserable hours, dozing off for brief periods of time, I dragged myself out of the bag’s feeble warmth at 5:30.

  5. Something different today: hiking Mt Cube. I've hiked it from the south four times, from the west a couple times, but never been on the northern part of it where the AT continues towards the Whites. It was a perfect fall day for an up and back. Needless to say, lots of mushrooms.

    September 14, 1983, 43 years ago today: Last night was wintry, topping even Monday night for cold. Today was a perfect backpacking day: about fifty degrees and sunny, with another invigorating breeze.

    September 14, 1983, 43 years ago today: A note at Speck Pond Shelter informed me that Frye Notch Shelter, which I had been hoping to reach tonight, was still under construction and presently lacked a roof. I was not going to make it there, anyway.

    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.
