[…in progress…] We left our hotel after 11AM. We walk down using narrow stairway, and later – a narrow street. People’s living rooms and windows are opening directly into the street. While walking you are a witness to people’s lives, and they do not mind it. We ate our breakfast […]
The walking stage of the hike was closing to an end, and bike portion was fast approaching. Crossing Saco river took about 15 minutes. First, a test cross with only valuables, and then second crossing with 2 sticks in both hands and a backpack. Rain started again, I did not know what […]

I woke up at 6AM in Boston, and quickly completed last preparations. Just before 7AM, I was on my way to New Hampshire. Weather was getting darker and rainier, so I still entertained a possibility of changing the ambitious plans or to scale them down. The only new thing on […]
Everything is ready for the trip to Wild River wilderness. This time I am planning to stay in the wild 2 nights from Friday to Sunday and return to the car on my bike on Sunday. Monday as usual would be a “freelance” day for light exploration and contemplation. I […]
