The fourth consecutive September pilgrimage up to the top of Maine was another great success. Every year is unique in it's own way. The first year was somewhat damp and foggy. The second ascent we saw the northern lights. The third ascent was the sunrise summit. This year was no different. A cold front came in, and significantly dropped temperatures. The summit was 15 degrees with wind chill. Fellow bearded hikers had ice fixed to their facial hair. Of course, I didn't realize how cold it was until I came home and checked the temperature. I think the boys had a fun time, but didn't expect winter-like conditions at the summit. In previous years, we have had lunch at the top, enjoyed the view. Great trip!
