SUMMARY:Full moon hike on Pisgah Hill
DESCRIPTION:Update:  This event is still on schedule for RRCT.  However\, something has come up for me personally so I will not be attending. \nHello\, this is an annual event hosted by Royal River Conservation Trust.  It’s a relatively short hike\, a little steep in spots – 1.2 miles round trip.  They have a fire at the summit and hot chocolate and s’mores. \nFrom their website: ” \nThe Pisgah Hill Preserve South Trailhead is at 74 Dougherty Road\, New Gloucester (In Pownal\, Dougherty Road is known as Chadsey Road).  Parking for this event is on the road shoulders of Dougherty Road\, on one side only.  We will place “no parking” signs on the other side of the road.” \nThe event runs from 4 to 7pm.  TRACTION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  The trail gets compacted and can be very icy.  Someone slipped on ice and (I think) broke a wrist a few years ago on the way down.  The trails are fairly well marked and most parts will have candles or lanterns\, plus there are generally a lot of people going up and down at various times.  And\, of course….dress warmly – it’s gonna be cold. \nThey appreciate people registering on their website\, but it’s not required.  It’s a free event.  See the link below.

SUMMARY:Memorial Day Weekend Camping in Bar Harbor - UPDATE!!
DESCRIPTION:As of 3/25/26\, Hadley’s lists 9 tent sites available and “plenty” of RV sites (water/electric/some with sewer). If you are interested in this trip\, please don’t wait too long. You also do NOT need to stay at Hadley’s. You are welcome to outdoor adventure with us and hang out for the evening/whenever festivities. \nLet’s keep a long-standing MOAC tradition alive by welcoming summer with a group campout on Mt. Desert Island. \nWe camped at Hadley’s Point CG last year and had a great time. Hadley’s Point is just off Route 3 as you head to Bar Harbor. It is 2.5 miles before Bar Harbor Campground. Holiday weekend prices appear to be: \n\nField tent sites are $37.00 per night\nWooded tent sites are $39.00 per night\nSites with water/electric are $54.00 per night\nThey even have cabins if you want to check those out\n\nThere appears to be a $3.25 campground fee\, plus tax of course. \nhttps://www.hadleyspoint.com/ \nTammy and I will reserve site C-37 (water and electric) and it is near to a pod of tent sites (13-20\, 30-36\, 40-42). We will also reserve C-36 to use as a home base for the group. We will ask attendees to help pay for this community site. If we get 25 people\, that will mean about $5 per person for the weekend. \nIf you choose to go\, please drop us a line at pcm25me@gmail.com so we know who to expect and what site you are in. You can also stay anywhere you like and come visit as well. \nYou do have to make your own reservations. Deposit amounts vary. For 1-2 nights\, it is the full balance. For 3 or more it is $100. Unfortunately\, they state there are no refunds for a holiday weekend. \nIt might be best to grab a site as soon as you can if you are interested. \nWe will continue the traditional experience of group happy hours and pot luck dinners in the evenings. Restaurants are also on the table. Activities during the day will be up to the group. Hiking\, biking\, paddling\, etc.
