    September 20, 1983: I crossed the South Branch of the Carrabassett River at another wide, shallow ford amid a lush forest filled with dense undergrowth and began the ascent of the Crockers. I took my first break of the day a mile later, after a moderate climb to the Appalachian Trail junction with the Crocker Cirque Campsite side trail.

    September 20, 1983, 43 years ago today: I really wanted to hike the thirteen tough miles over four major summits today and make it to the Post Office in Stratton before it closed this evening. I made a special effort to reach Maine 27 early, in case I needed to wait a long time for a ride.
