Hi PapaBear
 The side trip to Elephant is a heck of a side trip, let us know if you spot 
any old blazes! Safford Notch campsite is passed over by many ATers, I think, 
and that's too bad. The huge glaicial erratic boulders and cool (pun) caves 
are fun to poke around. Safford Brook trail is the old AT, blazed in the 
thirties, and the Arnold Trail that runs through here which is a wee bit older. Check 
out Arnold's Point for a breezy break from the bugs. You might be joined by 
moose out there too, watch your step! The trail from Pierce Pond lean-to 
(be-U-ti-ful site, I wanna live there) to the Kennebec has lots of short side trails 
to waterfalls on one side and beaver works on the other. There's a side trail 
off the AT after Moxie Bald that goes to the north peak, where there's 
blueberries, poison ivy, and a stealth tent site for the bold :O)
 For a side trail of imagination, read Arundel by Kenneth Roberts for a 
rousing tale about Arnold's trek through Maine before you go.
Have a blast, PB!
