Here is the itinerary for the Kittery to Fort Kent Self-propelled 2012 Trip.
I have not yet added up the mileage that is included here. Some things are better left unknown. And everything, of course, is subject to the whims of weather, injury and/or gear malfunction.
I hope to be posting journal entries and photos semi-regularly along the way. Although things may get a little spotty up north. I am working with the staff at BDN to do some whiz-bang computer/satellite gadgets that will let readers know my location. More on that later.
This is the first time I have put this all down in one summarized document.
Gulp!!
