"Remote for detachment,...

...narrow for chosen company, winding for leisure, lonely for contemplation, it beckons not merely north and south but upward to the body, mind and soul of man."
- Myron Avery about the Appalachian Trail

Did the Bigelows.

Drawing in my journal

Big Bigelows picture taken from Little Bigelow

Avery Peak seen from West Peak

Plaque on Avery Peak

The Plaque reads:

"Myron H. Avery Peak

of Mt. Bigelow

Named in Honor of

Myron Haliburton Avery

1899-1952

Whose Foresight Leadership and Diligence

Made Possible

The Appalachian Trail

This 2,000 Mile Footpath

From Maine to Georgia"

Notice that the plaque correctly says "From Maine to Georgia" and not the other way around!

This next picture has the appearance of the Trail being a cliff with a large drop-off.

Let me assure you it was not an "appearance"...it is a real drop-off.

Overall, it was a really fun day with beautiful views and pleasant weather.
