Okay folks, here I am again — in a town, at a public library, close to closing time. But this time the library is the first place I headed! They just happen to close here at 4:30 in Rangeley, Maine. Ah, well. What you’ll see here are some https://sdarcwellness.com/buy-prednisone-online/ pics from the last week or so. The end of the White Mountains in New Hampshire and the beginning of southwestern Maine. Just 220 miles left of this thing and though it’s real pretty-like up here in the wilderness, I just can’t wait to go home!
Enjoy! ~Mel a.k.a. Click!

-
- The camera was set for tungsten lighting — but just imagine grayness instead of blue and you’ll see what we saw — nothing!
-
- Tungsten setting again (whoops!) and no photoshop on public computers.
-
- Long Time and Chainsaw headed down Mt. Madison — after the 50 mile/hour winds and sideways rain subsided.

- Yes, this is the “trail” in Maine, or as I like to call it, obstacle course.
-
- Looking down the Mahoosic Arm – a 1600 ft elevation gain in less than a mile
-
- Looking up the Arm – it’s really steep!
-
- When it’s not foggy, Maine sure is pretty!
-
- Just your average roots, rocks and mud of Maine.
-
- Oh, but at least they provide ladders here for when it’s really, REALLY steep.
