06/10/2011: Baxter Peak (Katahdin)
Traveled up to Maine on a Thursday (Friday?) afternoon. Stayed at Tom and Lynn's Thursday (Friday?) night and traded some Wawa pretzels, Amoroso rolls, and scrapple for a lobster dinner.
Drove up to Wayne's the next morning, bright and early. We were supposed to get rain the following day (Sunday?)> So, we boogied up to Baxter and hiked in to our lean-to dropped off most of our gear and continued up to Baxter peak via the Cathedral Trail. We had thoughts of trying to squeeze in the Knife's Edge and Dudley Trail back to the lean-to but we were pretty much toast. Therefore, we decided to take the Saddle Trail back.
Next morning woke to rain and had to hike back to the car in a steady rain.

08/21/2010: Mt Washington
The idea for this trip was hatched after many beers with Cheff at Circa in High Bridge. The plan was to drive up the NH/Maine after work on a Friday. Start hiking early am then drive home that night.
Friday night stopped at Portsmouth Brew Pub.
Crashed on Tom and Lynn's couches.
Started climbing around 8:00 am.
Finished climbing around 4:00 pm.
Jeff drove the entire way home, his house by around 1:30-2:00 am.
