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.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #Maine #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail

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.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #Maine #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail

🧵1/3
September 19, 1983, 43 years ago today: The grades moderated along the crest, and most of the final mile to the summit was a series of gradually-ascending terraces. Dark, soggy tundra was interspersed with ledges of naked rock dabbed with lichen. Masses of ground-hugging plants spread out like thick shag carpets while scrub spruce shivered in the gale above them.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #Maine #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail

🧵1/5
September 19, 1983, 43 years ago today: A thin, halfhearted drizzle began to fall. The first couple of miles of trail consisted of short, steep climbs connecting long, broad plateaus. The Appalachian Trail passed several slab caves formed by more fallen rocks from the cliffs above, a bog, and two very nice mountain ponds.#backpacking #hiking #outdoors #landscapephotography #Maine #nature #forest #mountains #AppalachianTrail

#Phytoplankton found in #CascoBay can harm aquatic life
#MainePublic | By Molly Enking
Published September 9, 2026"The Maine Department of Marine Resources is monitoring an algal bloom in Casco Bay that it says can be toxic to aquatic life, but not humans.
"The phytoplankton can turn the water brown and give off an odor, which was detected in Portland Harbor on Sunday, according to a social media post by the city Harbormaster.
"The first known outbreak of the same bacteria in Casco Bay was in 2017, which led to die-offs of shellfish and lobster.
"It is not yet clear whether fisheries are at risk during this outbreak; the DMR says it will continue to test and monitor waters, from Portland Harbor to Harpswell."

I had a bad feeling that this summer would be the last time I would have fried clams...
Dead clams, worms reported amid #CascoBay #AlgalBloom
Story by Griffin Stockford, 9/9/2026
"Dead and dying clams and worms, brown water, and a strong odor of decay have been reported along parts of the Harpswell coast as the Maine Department of Marine Resources monitors a widespread algal bloom in Casco Bay.
"Clam harvesters in #HarpswellME began reporting the unusual conditions, prompting the town's harbormaster to ask coastal residents and harvesters to document what they see and provide photographs, descriptions, and exact locations.
"The Maine Department of Marine Resources has also confirmed it is monitoring a bloom of the commonly occurring phytoplankton #KareniaMikimotoi.
"The bloom has been observed from Portland Harbor to Middle Bay, with additional reports from waters in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, according to DMR. Phytoplankton counts in Portland reached 2 million cells per liter, according to officials.
"DMR staff and members of the public have reported brown discoloration of the water and an accompanying odor.
"Early reports indicate clam deaths in Middle Bay and #MaquoitBay may be related to the bloom, according to DMR.
"The agency said Karenia mikimotoi is not a threat to human health, unlike some other harmful algal blooms that can produce toxins associated with shellfish poisoning. However, the phytoplankton can have harmful effects on marine organisms.
"The species can produce compounds that potentially affect fish and shellfish. #FishKills and other marine mortality events have been reported during blooms of Karenia mikimotoi in locations including #HongKong, #Australia, #Ireland, #Japan, #Korea and #Alaska."
