SUMMARY:HIKE WOLFE'S NECK STATE PARK - FREEPORT\, MAINE
DESCRIPTION:We will be hiking trails in the woods and along the wooded Casco Bay shoreline throughout Wolfe’s Neck State Park. If approaching from the center of Freeport\, take Flying Point Road and watch for the directional signs for the park. The signs will eventually indicate a right hand turn on to Wolfe’s Neck Road.  Watch for additional signage and there will eventually be a sign indicating a left hand turn on to the State Park access road. After passing the entrance booth\, bear right into the parking lot that is directly ahead. We will meet at this parking lot and step off at 11 AM. Bring cleats\, hiking poles\, backpacks for lunches\, etc. and sufficient layered clothing as we will be in the woods much of the time but after hiking a while it may start to warm up a bit. We will be hiking two different loops and take a lunch break at the group picnic shelter between the loops. Any questions prior to the day of the hike\, mcb-12nam@outlook.com or 207-844-8142 (this is a land line). The morning of the hike 802-770-9106. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Snowshoe at Winterfest
DESCRIPTION:Let’s go snowshoeing at Winterfest.  The property is still snow covered and pretty.  It’s not super deep\, but it’s really soft and wet.  Snowshoes will be a lot better than just boots.

SUMMARY:Intro to winter in the White Mountains.
DESCRIPTION:Since this outing was broadly successful last year\, we’re trying our hand at a sequel. \nShort version: \nIntroduction to White Mountain winter hiking. Sunday\, February 19th\, Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail\, Mt. Washington. Bring microspikes\, water\, snacks\, and layers. We will hike to Gem Pool\, which is an easy walk in the woods. I am not expecting to go past Gem Pool. All experience levels welcome. \nGroup limit is 10. To sign up\, and for meeting time and place\, email me: jamie.jbemit08 at gmail. Do not use the sign up button on the MOAC website. \nLong version: \nWHAT: back when I was young\, around the time of the Battle of Jutland\, we had this thing called winter. Temperatures would drop below the freezing point of water for days at a time. This white stuff called snow would fall\, as opposed to rain. Well\, those were the good old days. Now it’s 50 degrees in January. But we can still pretend. \nWinter in the White Mountains is (or was\, before New England winters started looking like Florida) a stunning experience; this hike will be geared toward folks who would like a gentle introduction to winter hiking in the Whites. We will be walking on the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail\, which departs a bit below the Cog Railway. I will check road and trail conditions closer to the actual event\, but last year Base Station Road was open and well-plowed. The trail was lightly packed snow with minimal ice. The 2-mile walk to Gem Pool is gently uphill along the Ammonoosuc River. \nJust past the pool the trail goes from an easy upward slope to essentially a one-mile snow-covered staircase. Since my knees were already creaky during the Hoover Administration\, I am not planning to tackle the higher parts of the trail. THERE WILL BE NO PRESSURE TO GO PAST GEM POOL. If more experienced and ambitious members wish to continue on up the steeper sections\, bon voyage; I recommend good microspikes\, ample food and water\, and good layering of clothes. \nME: I have organized a couple of MOAC trips before. I first hiked in the White Mountains when I was 3 years old. I have organized multiple trips there with friends\, including with people who were completely new to hiking. I will move at a leisurely pace. If you want to go faster than me\, cool beans. If you want to go slower than me\, tough noogies\, you won’t go slower than me\, because I don’t leave people behind. \nYOU: this is intentionally geared toward anyone who is curious about winter in the Whites and would like an easy introduction with friends. Conversely\, if this is your 15th season summiting Washington and snowboarding back down\, it would be great to have you\, but you may find both the pace and the terrain somewhat dull.

SUMMARY:Climb Mt Isolation
DESCRIPTION:Winter is the best time to climb Mt Isolation because there are two bushwhacks that cut a couple of miles off this very long hike. It’s one of the most remote 4000ers (true to its name) and has absolutely stunning views from the summit. We’ll go up the Rocky Branch trail and bushwhacks\, for a total of about 12 miles and 3\,150′ elevation gain – a challenging trip for experienced winter hikers only. Microspikes and snowshoes are both required\, and you should also bring lunch\, snacks and at least 2 liters of water for a long day on the trail. It will probably take 7 – 8 hours total. Wind chills will be near zero at the top\, so also bring extra warm layers and a second set of gloves. RSVP for meeting places and times (we’re not leaving at 2 AM)\, and for carpool information. If we haven’t hiked together before\, please send me a pic of your vax card and let me know your winter hiking experience when you RSVP. Max group size is 8\, and we will probably stop afterwards for refreshments.
