Maine is an easy place to get lost, even on the AT. A friend of mine and myself found ourselves lost in Baxter State Park in the 80s while on the final leg of the trail. We took a side trail that whittled itself down to a moose path before we realized what had happened. We were out there for four days before we navigated ourselves back to a road using compass and visual guides.
One night, we had a moose stick his head in our tent around 3:00 am. Trust me, animals look a lot bigger and meaner when you’re lost than when you’re not!
