Re: Where Is The Cold Weather? (Another Response to Naida)

Naida:

Some 50 years ago, I took a canoe across Moosehead to look
at Kineo from the east side.

When right up against the vertical wall that rose 700 feet above
the water - and appeared to lean over the water - you got a very
impressive and a little unnerving view of Kineo.

On the way back to Rockwood (?), the wind kicked up and I became
concerned until - looking down - I saw the water depth was about
two feet. I could have walked ashore and not gotten wet above the
knees.

On the same trip. climbed Ktaadn on 4 Sep with the temperature near
70 - after there had had four inchs of snow a week earlier. Went up
th same trail (Abol?) that Thoreau took in the 1850s.

Good memories.

Re: Where Is The Cold Weather?

Right where I left it 49 years ago, while standing in breakfast chow line at Recruit Training Center Great Lakes. Never been so cold in my life, and it was the middle of May!!! We hit 61* here in Versailles Kentucky yesterday, playing golf of course.
