other dog Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I've been seeing previews of this on TV, true story of a 12 year old boy lost on the mountain in Maine that's at the end of the Appalachian Trail. Looks like a good one, not sure what channel it's on, or whether it's even out yet. https://youtu.be/fS2KrNvUHN4?si=cok90CcNAD3WFVnx Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

There is an overlook for it on I-95. .....Hippy Mount Katahdin (/kəˈtɑːdɪn/ kə-TAH-din) is the highest mountain in the U.S. state of Maine at 5,269 feet (1,606 m). Named Katahdin, which means "Great Mountain",[3] by the Penobscot Native Americans, it is within Northeast Piscataquis, Piscataquis County, and is the centerpiece of Baxter State Park. It is a steep, tall massif formed from a granite intrusion weathered to the surface. The flora and fauna on the mountain are typical of those found in northern New England, with the summit hosting fragile and endangered alpine tundra. Katahdin was known to the Native Americans in the region and was known to Europeans at least since 1689. It has inspired hikes, climbs, journal narratives, paintings, and a piano sonata.[4] The area around the peak was protected by Governor Percival Baxter starting in the 1930s. Katahdin is the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail and is near a stretch known as the Hundred-Mile Wilderness. Though part of the Appalachian Mountain system, Katahdin is isolated from the range, and sits largely on its own as a monadnock. The nearest higher mountains in any direction are the high peaks of the Presidential Range, around 170 miles (270 km) to the south-west. In 1967, Mount Katahdin was designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service.[5] The mountain is commonly called just "Katahdin",[6] though the official name is "Mount Katahdin" as decided by the US Board on Geographic Names in 1893.[7] C&P Wiki..... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74984-lnside-the-rock-pile-mt-washington-and-a-ride-to-the-top/#findComment-566178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Katahdin is a beautiful sight from I-95.. I have seen it going north with a full moon on the snow at 20-30 degrees below zero. One of those beautiful nights when you could run on marker lights ONLY at times!!!!! 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74984-lnside-the-rock-pile-mt-washington-and-a-ride-to-the-top/#findComment-566181 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was the second one, the climb in the snowcat. But it was just like being there! 2 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
