_x000D_ I remember it being pretty windy, enough so that I sat for a long time thinking about doing the Knife Edge (original plan), but finally decided against it. Looking up at the wall of Katahdin that night was awesome. Long drive, even though I was lucky enough to start from my parent's former camp in Belmont, ME. I'm not positive that I took the Abol Trail (notes neglected this), but am pretty sure.
