A selection of the Saxons and Scribes took off on a trip to Mount Katahdin, the terminus of the Appalachian trail. On a fresh Maine morning the campers and staff arose at 5 am for an early breakfast in order to hit the mountain at full force. With an approximate ascent of 4 hours up the Abol trail, everybody made it to the top in an impressive time allowing us time to relax and eat the lunches the Scribes kindly prepared the night before on top of America’s 22nd largest mountain. The decent was slightly faster-around 3.5 hours-with everyone getting back in good shape in order to enjoy a nice soak and slide in the river near our campsite. The evening was nicely finished off around a campfire, with everybody grilling their own steaks, before finally returning to our cozy tents for a well earned sleep.

Sweet dreams from The Realm,

Dan
