Take Pride in Acadia Day, 2025 - Rescheduled to 11/9
2025-10-31 08:00 - 2025-11-02 13:00
Due to the government shutdown, TPIAD has been moved to Sunday, November 9. If the government is still shutdown on November 3rd, the event will be cancelled.
Tammy and I cannot attend on the 9th, so there will be no official MOAC group this year. If you would like to participate as an individual, please sign up here:
Take Pride in Acadia Day

You will be assigned to random groups.
I have left the original information from the event below.
————————
For 34 years, volunteers have gathered on the first Saturday of November to help ready the famous carriage roads for winter. Sponsored by Friends of Acadia, teams are assigned troublesome sections of carriage roads where erosion can cause damage over the winter. The task? Rake the leaves and debris off the shoulders and into the woods. MOAC has had members at this event for many years. We have a team that will work together.
Most who sign up make it a weekend, but that is not required. The actual commitment to the park is from roughly 8:30 am to noon on Saturday. If you choose to make it a weekend, the rest of the time is yours.
There is no cost to the event itself. If you choose to stay over, you will need to find your own lodging. Tam and I are staying at the Bar Harbor Grand Hotel, right in downtown and that has been the hotel of choice for the most part for a few years now. But, you can do as you wish in this regard. The Grand offers a free breakfast. Local restaurants for the rest.
Except for the provided lunch after the work Saturday. After our work commitment is done, we can head over to the Hulls Cove Visitors Center for a “CCC” lunch. Chili, cornbread, and cider. Aside from the ingredients, it’s named to honor the Civilian Conservation Corp, who did a lot of work in Acadia.

Join other MOACers at this dress-up event of the year! Held at the AmVets Post in Yarmouth at 148 North Road, this annual event is a celebration of our active and social community. This year, we will have a traditional turkey dinner (MOAC supplies three turkeys and a cake for dessert). Members bring appetizers and the fixings for a turkey dinner, salads and side dishes. Last year we ran out of the main meal, so please bring a serving for the main meal for at least 10 people. (Please do not bring store-bought desserts.) MOAC will supply a cake for dessert. Homemade cookies, pies and other desserts are welcome but the emphasis for the potluck is on the main meal, please.
Volunteers are needed to decorate the hall, staff the door and welcome members, arrange and label the food, clean up, take down the decorations and pack up. Volunteers get in for FREE and will be first in the food line. You MUST sign up and show up for these benefits.
Contact Dan Kidd to volunteer: President@moac.org.
As in past years, MOAC will run a 50/50 raffle to benefit an outdoor-related non-profit TBD by the Board at their Nov meeting. If you’d like to nominate an organization to benefit from the raffle, please email board@moac.org
This year MOAC has hired a DJ for dance music and Chris Stack, a highly accomplished pianist, will play while we dine. We can also expect composer Bill Shouse to play guitar and sing the MOAC theme song.

Something different again this week – HAPPY HOUR this Friday will be at the ROYAL ANCHOR TIKI BAR located at 203 East Grand Avenue in OLD ORCHARD BEACH. Located right on the beach with two quality bands playing from 3:00PM to 9:00PM. Full bar and snack food served. Parking is a bit of a challenge: they do have a lot but a portion of it is set aside for hotel guests. However there is on street parking north of there within about one-half mile (not a problem for us “Adventurers”).

We used to go to this spot regularly. Stopped in the other night and found it to be the liveliest place in the Old Port.
HAPPY HOUR this Friday will be at the PORTLAND LOBSTER COMPANY located at 180 Commercial Street in PORTLAND. Very lively with entertainment. Most folks hang out along the railings looking out on the fishing boats. Worth a trip into town. Free parking up by Becky’s and at meters after 6:00PM.

MH&T’s Flagstaff Hut Weekend
2026-10-23 13:00 - 2026-10-25 17:00
Since we will not be around for August and a good part of September, we are posting this now so you can save the date. Registrations will open about a month before the event. Check out the website below to learn more about Maine Huts and Trails and their huts. Price for the weekend is still to be determined. It was $155 last year.
We will answer any questions at any time.
Join us for the 13th annual Maine Huts & Trails weekend. MH&T’s operates four “ecolodges” along their network of trails in the Bigelows, Flagstaff Lake, and the Dead River. For this weekend, Flagstaff Hut, on the eastern shore of the lake is all ours.
It’s far more than a “hut”. A full commercial kitchen, hot water, showers, electricity, composting toilets, etc. Sleeping is bunk room style (earplugs). This “hut” has a capacity of 48. We hope to limit it to 40 or so.
Activities can include hiking, mountain biking, paddling (boats and gear provided), swimming, or doing nothing. It will be late October.
You must walk in. From the parking lot, it is 1.5 miles on a service road or two miles on actual hiking trails (for the full experience). Gear shuttle provided if you can get there by a certain time on Friday and possibly later. This would mean leaving your gear in a building at the parking lot and it will be delivered in (and out) so you only have to walk.
You only need to bring clothes (slippers or something for inside the hut), sleeping bag/bedding, pillow case, personal items, earplugs, and food as described below. You DO NOT need to bring anything to cook with or to eat on. Refrigeration is available but limited. You will have access to the kitchen.
The way the food works, you provide your own food for Friday, Saturday morning and noon. You will be asked to bring a “slice” of Saturday night’s dinner which all the “slices” will be combined for a fantastic feed. This year’s Saturday evening menu is still undecided. In the past we’ve done a pizza bar, pasta bar, taco bar, friendsgiving dinner. There will also be Happy Hours you can contribute to.
On Sunday morning a portion of your payment for the weekend will provide a full spread breakfast. Pancakes, frittata, bacon, sausage, fruit, granola, yogurt, etc. Vegetarian? Vegan? We have options for everyone. Coffee and tea and hot chocolate provided at least in the morning. Potable water available anytime. You will need to bring any other beverages you desire. BYOB for alcohol.
