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.

SUMMARY:Pawtuckaway SP hike
DESCRIPTION:Loop exploration of North and South Mt. 6.4 miles and about 1300 feet elevation gain. This a moderate hike with a slow to moderate pace depending on attendees. Weather looks very good right now\, but per usual\, prepare for change in weather\, pack adequate food and water. \nAttached  photo will show the trail. Parking is near the trailhead on reservation Road. All Trails has good directions. Consider carpooling. I can take three people.  Initial meeting places can be Cabela’s at 830am and/or Wells park/drive both on ME turnpike. Goal is to be at trailhead by 10am with  a 10 minute leeway. \nPawtuckaway SP has diverse terrain\, including a lake\, fire tower\, marsh\, and a glacial boulder field. This specific loop follows a ring dike\, a circular formation due to past volcanic activity. The views are quite nice in many sections. \nBe aware that this park requires a parking day pass for hiking which can be obtained on website: Reserve America and the fee is $5 for each person. I can certainly handle the arrangements for anyone who travels with me. \nIf you have any questions\, I can be contacted by email: georganndickey@gmail.com or text 2072335253. \n

SUMMARY:Street Jam at First Friday:   Join me for random acts of Violins\, Violas\, Guitars\, other things to make lots of noise!
DESCRIPTION:I’m thinking we meet somewhere on Congress by  MECA and start playing.  I’ve participated in many jams with  MOAC members and we’ve played popular folk\, Americana\, country\, rock tunes.  But it really doesn’t matter what we play and with what.  Bring any skill level and any instrument.  Hide in the middle of the group if you are afraid (safety in numbers).  This could be great or a complete mess\, but I’m sure it will be fun!    I’ve been thinking about this and watching the weather which finally looks better so I figured I needed to post this now!   Details to follow once I hear from interested parties.  Ate Ate 9- Ate 5 1 Ate\, which is a cell phone number written in Kiddspeak.

SUMMARY:Alpine Garden\, rescheduled

This hike is weather dependent\, already postponed from May 31.   Eileen can’t go Tuesday\, so I am organizing those interested in this date\, Tuesday June 9.

Temps are supposed to be mid-50s with lower winds than last 10 days or this coming Saturday and some sun. \nThis is an intermediate hike of 3.5 miles out and back across rocks above tree line.  You are required to STAY on the marked trail.  The terrain is fragile.  It will be 2+ hours of hiking or more depending on photos and enjoying the views.\n\n Weather on Washington  Here is Mountain-Weather link.\n\nSturdy boots\, wind/rain gear\, warm layers\, hat\, water\, food\, etc. are required.  Hiking poles are a good idea.\n\nLet me know if you want to carpool: I can drive or hitch a ride. I live on the East End in Portland.  Cost is $36 per person in a vehicle to drive six+ miles up the Auto Road to the trailhead.

SUMMARY:Try Again - Climb Mt Eisenhower via Edmands Path
DESCRIPTION:We’ll go up Mt Eisenhower via Edmands Path since Mt. Clinton Rd is now *really* open for the season (it wasn’t when I last posted this and we climbed Pierce instead.) Hike is 6.6 miles round trip\, 2\,750′ elevation gain – a challenging hike. Bring plenty of water\, lunch and warm layers for the top including a hat\, gloves and rain shell. The summit elevation is almost 5\,000′ so it can be cold and windy up there. Please have recent experience on similar hikes – this is not a trip for beginners. RSVP for meeting places and times (we’re not leaving at 6 am)\, and to arrange car pooling. We may go out for refreshments afterwards\, and this trip is subject to change based on weather. If we haven’t hiked together before\, please call me at 207-380-6008 to discuss your experience.

SUMMARY:Climb South Baldface via Ledges
DESCRIPTION:We’ll go up South Baldface via Baldface Circle trail\, down Slippery Brook Trail. Hike is 8 miles round trip\, about 3\,100′ elevation gain – a very challenging hike with steep exposed rock ledges going up – not for anyone with a fear of heights. Bring plenty of water\, lunch and warm layers for the top including a hat\, gloves and rain shell. There’s a chance of showers in the afternoon\, and if the weather changes for the worse I’ll cancel. Please have recent experience on similar hikes – this is not a trip for beginners. RSVP for meeting places and times (we’re not leaving at 6 am)\, and to arrange car pooling. If we haven’t hiked together before\, please call me at 207-380-6008 to discuss your experience.

There are also 2 other ponds to enjoy by canoe down the road. There is off road and trail biking available. Hiking opportunities vary from mostly flat to mountains.
