1985 Pierce Pond Register
Home About Visit Events/News Support Special Features Volunteer Contact  


Below are links to images of each page of the 1985 Pierce Pond Register obtained from that shelter just south of the Kennebec River in Maine. The log begins with an entry on May 14, 85 and ends on Aug 31, 85. This register contains the last entry made by Alice and George Ference before the tragic death of Alice while crossing the Kennebec. The implementation of a ferry to make the crossing was set up due to this unfortunate event. Although we do not have the actual register entry from Jerome Brook LT just one shelter before Pierce Pond, the Ference's entry was recorded by another hiker in 1985. It read: 8-25-85 Early Morning. Rain during night but has slowed up. On to the Kennebec and an early morning swim tomorrow. George & Alice Ference Brunswick, Ga S-K 9 yrs This entry apparently was made by George since his name appears first. The entry from Pierce Pond; however, was signed with Alice's name first, indicating she was the one who made the entry.

 

To be legible, some of the images are large in terms of internet usage, and may be a problem for those using dialup connections. For others with faster connections, there will probably be no problem. The names listed below are spelled as correctly as could be decifered. If you find an error, please let us know. If you have a log book that you would like to donate to the A.T. Museum, please contact us as well. If you have a log book but would rather keep it yourself, contact us for directions on how to scan the images yourself and send us a copy so all can enjoy. Thank You.
