    September 17, 1983, 43 years ago today: I crossed Bemis Stream on the floor of its narrow valley on a wooden footbridge (an unusually effete touch for Maine) and commenced the final mile of ascent to Maine Highway 17. I came out of the woods and onto the road at 11:30.

    September 17, 1983, 43 years ago today: The trail over the long series of knobs which constituted the Bemis Range was slippery and hazardous from the rain, though not as bad as most of the trail I have walked in Maine.

    September 16, 1983, 43 years ago today: The bottom half of the trail up Old Blue Mountain was an instant replay of the ascent of Moody, mirroring it even to the point where I again missed a turning of the path and followed a steep, shallow gully a couple hundred feet up the face of the cliffs.

    September 16, 1983, 43 years ago today: The descent into Sawyer Notch was long and steep, threading along a crumbling footway. The trail crossed a gravel lumber road and Sawyer Brook in that narrow, wooded valley, and the real mess began. The climb up was unrelenting torture. Towards the top, the AT scaled up the faces of steep cliffs.

  21. So @justbob , I talked about how moving the now closed-down #HomelessShelter / #EmergencyShelter to an industrial area miles away from the downtown was a bad idea. At least some folks are agreeing with me!

    #PortlandME officials still wrangling over future of family shelter

    City staff said there are 27 families staying in the Chestnut Street buildings as officials review options for moving it elsewhere.

    by Andrew Rice, 9/15/2026

    Excerpt: "When asked for opinions on a potential location, a majority of councilors agreed the service should remain downtown near transit and other services.

    "Sykes, who represents District 5 where the Homeless Services Center is located on Riverside Street, said considering industrial areas for shelters is a mistake.

    " 'We’re seeing the result of that with the carnage on the road,' she said. 'We have to be really careful about looking too far afield on where a shelter is appropriate.' "

  22. The place I moved to in #Maine is untenable for me. If anyone has a line on rentals between #Biddeford and #Bath or in the #SouthCounty area of #RhodeIsland, I’d love any tips or leads you may have.
