100 Mile Misery On The Appalachian Trail
A correspondent chronicles the brutal 100 Mile Wilderness section from Monson Maine toward Mount Katahdin. Mud, floods, and missing trail aids test four hikers including a weary farmboy from Iowa and a 70 year old climber nicknamed The Abominably Slow Man. After days of soaking, slips, and 58 pound packs, the group abandons their attempt, aided by a teenage rescuer in a red Chevy Blazer.
