Hello Art!

Thank you for clarifying this. I have always heard this but could not verify my source and was hoping others would post on this.

Baxter closes to campers for the winter but it is always open for hiking. So many NOBOS believe they cannot finish on Katahdin after October 15th. I finished on October 25th with light breezes and temps in the 50's. There was a little dusting of snow on the ground and a few patches of ice on the way up that melted before I hit them on the way down. Best of all there were only two other hikers on the entire mountain that day. It was amazing.> Does Katahdin not close in October?> ----- Anyone ever thought about doing a winter AT hike?> You mean thru-hike? Pilot did one in '98-'99. Starting in late October/early November and ending sometime in late May, I believe.>> at-l mailing list> at-l at backcountry.net> http://mailman.backcountry.net/mailman/listinfo/at-l> _______________________________________________> at-l mailing list> at-l at backcountry.net> http://mailman.backcountry.net/mailman/listinfo/at-l> --> Life is Good!!!> Art Cloutman
