SUMMARY:Hike Thayer Brook Preserve
DESCRIPTION:This is a no hunting game preserve that is part of the Royal River Land Trust.  In spite of that you\, may want to wear blaze orange. Meet at 10 AM at the trailhead — 92 Ramsdell Rd. in Gray. If you are driving in from 202\, it’s on the right just after Bud’ Lane and you will see a blue sign with white lettering for Thayer Brook Preserve. \nBring a snack or lunch and water. Poles are optional but I found them to be helpful on some of the trails. It’s about a 4-mile hike with ups and downs but no significant elevation. There are several large puddles that can be walked around. The trail goes around a marsh and through the woods. \nThis trip is weather dependent. \nThere are about 8 – 10 parking spots. Let me know if you are interested in carpooling. \nPlease contact me if you plan to go so I contact you in case of cancellation. betsy.hanscom@gmail.com 207-754-9692 call or text

SUMMARY:Take Pride in Acadia Day\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:For 31 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. \nIf 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. \nPlease 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. \nMost 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. \nThere 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. \nBack for 2022\, however\, is the free lunch after the work Saturday. Discontinued during Covid\, it’s back. 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. At least that’s what it used to be. Aside from the ingredients\, it’s named to honor the Civilian Conservation Corp\, who did a lot of work in Acadia.

SUMMARY:Potluck/hiking weekend Conway\, NH
DESCRIPTION:Weather permitting arrive at my house in the late afternoon Saturday\, November 5. Plan to have a potluck and bonfire.  Then if you want to stay overnight and wake up rather early to hike Sunday\, November 6 bring a sleeping bag. I plan to do a NH 4000 footer and would enjoy some company. But if others want to do something less challenging you can make a second group. We will all need to be out of the house rather early Sunday if you don’t plan on hiking anyway. \nI have five beds (first come first served) and plenty of floor space for blowup mattresses. Bring your own bedding and food for Sunday morning.  OR. Come to just socialize Saturday. Come to just hike on Sunday \nEmail or text me to RSVP and obtain my address.   When people RSVP we will start to work on a menu. Weather may alter plans. If you plan to stay over bring your sleeping bag and something to eat for Sunday morning.  If you plan to hike with me please be prepared for conditions. Bring some firewood if you have some extra.

SUMMARY:HIKE MORSE MOUNTAIN & SEAWALL BEACH
DESCRIPTION:Please consider joining us for a steady but peaceful 6.4 KM (3.8 mile) out & back hike through the Bates – Morse Mountain Conservation Area off Small Point Road (ME – 216) in Phippsburg. Prior to the return leg of the hike\, we will be able to take in the beauty of the incredibly expansive and unspoiled Seawall Beach as it looks out on open ocean and Popham Beach State Park to the East. For those that wish\, pack in a lunch to enjoy prior to hiking back to the parking lot. The terrain out and back is an established woods road\, parts of which appear to have been paved at one time. There are some sections that are moderately steep. Take Maine – 209 through Phippsburg to the point where you go straight onto Maine – 216 (Small Point Road) (Maine – 209 goes off sharply to the left at this point) for approximately 0.8 miles and look for Morse Mountain Road on the left. Proceed up that road for approximately 500 feet or so to the trail parking lot. Barring anything unusual\, the objective will be to hit trail at 10 AM sharp and be back to the parking lot by 1 PM. If there are any questions that morning\, 802-770-9106. Prior to that\, 207-844-8142. Caution\, cell service can be spotty in that area.

SUMMARY:Climb Carter Dome
DESCRIPTION:Climb Carter Dome by way of Mt. Hight and 19 Mile Brook Trail. This is a challenging hike in winter conditions – 10.2 miles round trip\, 3\,500′ elevation gain. Wind chills will be around zero at the summits – be prepared with plenty of extra layers\, a warm hat\, spare gloves for when your first ones are sweaty and damp\, a hot drink\, and microspikes. Snowshoes may also be a good idea\, although I assume the trail will be well packed by Sunday. This week will bring the first snow and ice to the White Mountains\, so there could be 6″ or more on the trail. Bring lunch\, snacks and water in a winter-proof container as well. Also be sure you have a headlamp in your pack\, as it may be getting dark on the way down; also\, bring something blaze orange as Sunday hiking is allowed in New Hampshire. There are fantastic views from Mt. Hight – two of the photos on this website were taken there. Max group size is 8; fully vaccinated hikers only. Call\, text (207-380-6008) or email for meeting places and times (we’re not starting at 2AM) and carpool information. I’m watching Sunday’s weather and if the chance for snow increases this may be re-scheduled for Saturday.
