HAPPY HOUR
2023-10-20 17:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
So as to coordinate with Kathie McCatherin’s show at Cadenza (please see related post) this Friday’s HAPPY HOUR will be at GOOD FIRE BREWING located at 180 S. Freeport Road in FREEPORT. We’ve been here before and the reviews were very positive. Just off the I-95 so it’s easy to get to. There’s also good food on site and free parking in their own lot.

Sorry, we are FULL - MH&T’s Flagstaff Hut
2023-10-27 14:00 - 2023-10-29 14:00
Maine Huts & Trails operates four “Eco-Lodges” in northern Maine, and for the weekend of October 27-29, their Flagstaff Hut is all ours. The hut is located on the eastern shore of Flagstaff Lake, about a 2.5 hour drive from Portland.
This will be our 10th year leading this trip and each year it is an experience to remember. Good company, good food, and the Maine woods. How could it not be?
Flagstaff Hut (in name only) is an off-the-grid lodge (capacity of 44-48) with amenities. Electricity is provided by solar panels and a generator. Hot water via propane, and heat, if needed, via wood. The building has composting toilets, showers, and a full commercial kitchen with refrigeration.
The cost for this weekend is $100 per person.
Sleeping is bunk room style (earplugs) in two separate buildings apart from the main lodge (earplugs).
You need to bring a sleeping bag, pillow cover (recommended), clothes, and personal items (earplugs). You will need to provide your own food for Friday, Saturday morning, and Saturday lunch. You DO NOT need to bring anything to cook with or on. You will have full use of the commercial kitchen. In a process perfected by Tammy, you will be asked bring a small amount of food to contribute to the cause for Saturday dinner. More on that later. Sunday breakfast is a full spread paid for by part of your payment for the weekend.
Coffee/tea/hot chocolate will be provided at least in the mornings and for some reason, Happy Hours tend to materialize in the late afternoons. No obligation to participate but donations for those are welcome as well.
The hut is designed to be remote. You cannot drive to it. Gear can be dropped off at the service gate to shorten the distance but all must be carried in and out. We try to have as many carts and wagons as people are willing to bring to share to help move stuff. Your vehicle will be two miles from the hut when parked in the lot. Please keep this in mind as you plan on what you are bringing.
Activities can include hiking, mountain biking, paddling, navel gazing, reading, puzzles, drinking wine, staring at the fire. Music if the right people show up. Keep moving every second, or do nothing.
Please click HERE to sign up.
Checks can be made to Peter Mullen and mailed to 38 Lawrence Rd, Gray, 04039. $100 per person for the weekend,
We also accept Venmo. Pay to tammy-mullen-5. Please put “MOAC” in the comments.
We look forward to seeing old friends and new faces at Flagstaff this fall.

Sorry, we are FULL – Take Pride in Acadia Day, 2023
2023-11-04 08:00 - 13:00
For 32 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.
If you follow the Friends of Acadia link above, there will be information about how to sign up for the event. PLEASE do not do that. Since we are working as a group, use the sign up link below so I can keep track. I will submit our roster of names to Friends.
Please click HERE to sign up. Your email is so we can communicate before the weekend. Your phone number so we can as well during the weekend.
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. Discontinued during Covid, it resumed last year. After our work commitment is done, we can head over to the Park Headquarters on Eagle Lake Road 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.

Take Pride in Acadia Day, 2024 - Registration is closed
2024-11-02 08:00 - 13:00
For 33 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.
If you follow the Friends of Acadia link above, there will be information about how to sign up for the event. PLEASE do not do that. Since we are working as a group, use the sign up link below so I can keep track. I will submit our roster of names to Friends.
Please click HERE to sign up. Your email is so we can communicate before the weekend. Your phone number so we can as well during the weekend.
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.

HAPPY HOUR this Friday will be at GRITTY’S BREW PUB located at 396 FORE STREET in the Old Port. Good food (try their chili), reasonable prices, and communal seating in a low key and friendly atmosphere. Parking is free at all meters come 6PM.
To those of you who went to DiMillo’s last week it was too bad that we couldn’t get a table and had to hang out around the crowded bar. It had been a long time since we were there and several folks wanted to give it a try. It’s another instance of changes having occurred since the pandemic. It’s still a nice spot though and maybe some will go back independently.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL FROM THE HAPPY HOUR COMMITTEE!
