We stopped off at Bean's for some real shoes and a day pack. Duh's first trip to Bean's in 30 years...even with the changes outside over that time, the inside was strangely familiar.
The blink-and-you-miss-it Summit Trail was straight up which made for a surprising expenditure of energy. (We did feel old when three teenaged girls "from away" blew by us in flip-flops.)
The trail markings were close to non-existent. As a matter of fact they were so bad that we picked a random well-worn return trail that wasn't on our trailmap. (How lost can you get going 484' straight down? :-) A trail map at the trailhead was more current. We had taken the Switchback Trail.
Muh proving that 484' in coastal Maine will get you a rewarding view:
Note the flip-flops! :-)
