40 years ago today: The flat ground around the ponds was nevertheless evil walking: a mess of tangled tree roots and piles of jagged boulders thrusting up through the soggy, dark earth at all angles. Everything was slick and damp and treacherous I never could break into an actual stride.

40 years ago today: The grades moderated along the crest, and most of the final mile to the summit was a series of gradually-ascending terraces. Dark, soggy tundra was interspersed with ledges of naked rock dabbed with lichen. Masses of ground-hugging plants spread out like thick shag carpets while scrub spruce shivered in the gale above them.

40 years ago today: The thirteen miles of Appalachian Trail between Routes 17 and 4 wound through a landscape of bogs, lakes and low ridges. It was the easiest terrain the trail had traversed since Vermont, despite a few short climbs as steep and treacherous as any of the longer climbs in Maine.

40 years ago today: I crossed Bemis Stream on the floor of its narrow valley on a wooden footbridge (an unusually effete touch for Maine) and commenced the final mile of ascent to Maine Highway 17. I came out of the woods and onto the road at 11:30.

40 years ago today: The trail over the long series of knobs which constituted the Bemis Range was slippery and hazardous from the rain, though not as bad as most of the trail I have walked in Maine.

40 years ago today: The bottom half of the trail up Old Blue Mountain was an instant replay of the ascent of Moody, mirroring it even to the point where I again missed a turning of the path and followed a steep, shallow gully a couple hundred feet up the face of the cliffs.

40 years ago today: When I finally attained that summit, I checked my watch and discovered that it was almost 9:00. I had consumed two hours in hiking two-and-a-half miles. At the rate I had been covering ground the past couple of days, Katahdin was beginning to once more achieve the status of fairy tale.

40 years ago today: Last night was wintry, topping even Monday night for cold. Today was a perfect backpacking day: about fifty degrees and sunny, with another invigorating breeze. The hike began with a steep but short climb up out of the col to the south peak of Fulling Mill Mountain.
