SUMMARY:Climb Baldface Circle Loop
DESCRIPTION:*** Changed to Saturday because of weather. *** We’ll go up the steep rock face of Baldface to South Baldface peak\, across the ridge to North Baldface and come down the Bicknell Ridge trail. It’s about 10 miles all together\, 3\,650′ elevation gain – a long and challenging hike. This isn’t for anyone with a fear of heights – there are some exposed feeling places on the bald face. Bring at least 2 liters water\, extra layers for the top including a rain jacket (highs will be in the 50s on the ridge and it’s usually windy)\, lunch and snacks. If the chance of rain increases I may reschedule this for Saturday. RSVP by text\, call or email for meeting places and times and to arrange car pooling (we’re not leaving at 2 am); max group size is 8. Fully vaccinated hikers only. If we haven’t hiked together before\, please let me know your experience climbing 4000 footers this year\, and send me a photo of your vax card when you RSVP. I can’t stop for refreshments afterwards but one car probably will.

SUMMARY:Hike Crockers and Redington
DESCRIPTION:Hike North and South Crocker following the AT from Caribou Pond Road. Then hike over to Redington from South Crocker on the herd path.

It’s steep but wonderful views on South Crocker. \nIf interested\, we could stay at the AT tent site Friday night and hike the peaks Saturday. \nCall or text Lisa @423 4732 for times and car pooling.

SUMMARY:3 nights at Baxter State Park

SUMMARY:Climb Mt. Moriah via Stony Brook Trail
DESCRIPTION:Hike the Stony Brook Trail up Mt. Moriah\, one of the NH 4\,000 footers. It’s a challenging hike of 10 miles round trip\, 3\,100′ elevation gain\, and should take most of the day. There are beautiful views from the bare ledges near the top\, and several stream crossings on the way up. I don’t expect high water so those should be easy. The weather looks great for hiking – temps around 60 at the summit and warmer below. Bring at least 2L water\, lunch and snacks\, bug spray and a wind breaker for the top just in case. We will probably stop afterwards for food and drink. \nFully vaccinated hikers only\, max group size is 8. Text (207-380-6008) or email to RSVP for meeting places and times (we’re not leaving at 2 am)\, and to carpool.

SUMMARY:Sandwich Dome hike
DESCRIPTION:Sandwich Dome hike via Sandwich Mountain trail – Noon Peak\, Jennings Peak\, Sandwich Dome (elevation 3993). Return Drakes Brook trail. This is about a 9-mile round trip hike and is rated challenging. Below is a pretty good link with a description (cut and paste). \nThe trail head is located near Waterville valley off Route 49\, this is a 2-1/2 hour drive from Portland. I live NW of Portland so if carpooling is an option we could meet in Cornish. \nWeather is looking nice although windy 15 to 20 NNW\, mid 50s (high 40s with wind chill). \nBe prepared\, looks like water may be available on the decent from Drakes brook. I would say it will take about 5 hours to hike\, so it’s an all-day event. \nIf interested give me a call or text 207-329-2686\, can decide on a meet time and place. Non-Vaccinated welcome. \nhttp://www.nhfamilyhikes.com/printables.php?hike=Sandwich%20Dome \nThanks\, \nJohn

SUMMARY:Climb Mt. Washington via Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail and Jewell Trail
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this long\, rugged\, difficult hike of 9.6 miles\, 3\,850′ elevation gain. This will be an all day hike\, with the potential for bad weather on top of Mt. Washington\, even though it’s not in the forecast. Winds are expected to be 25+ mph at elevation\, with a 25% chance of rain and partly cloudy conditions. Temps will range from the 40’s to 60 on the top\, with temps in the 60’s on the way up and down. Mt. Washington’s weather can change on a dime – be prepared with a rain shell\, warm jacket\, warm hat and gloves. I’ve been hailed on and had gale winds and rain on a day that was forecast to be a “heat index day” in the 90’s. Because I’ve had hikers who didn’t come prepared and needed to descend early on a big mountain hike\, I will be checking your gear before we get in the car. If you don’t have the clothing recommended\, I will ask you not to come with us – it’s just not fair to the rest of the group. Many of the fatalities on Mt. Washington have happened in July and August\, when people assumed the weather would be nice\, and they weren’t prepared. There are a lot of water crossings on the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail – hiking poles are helpful but not required. The scenery is stunning all the way up with the river and waterfalls\, then of course those great Presidential views once you get above treeline. \nPlease also bring at least 2 liters of water\, lunch and lots of snacks. If you want to tag Mt. Monroe for your 4\,000 footer list\, that’s only 1/4 mile off our route so you can easily add that one. Anyone who doesn’t need it can hang out at the Lake of the Clouds Hut while we wait. Max group size is 8; fully vaccinated hikers only. Please RSVP by text (207-380-6008) or email for meeting places and times\, and to carpool (we’re not leaving at 2 AM).

SUMMARY:** Downeast Camping Brooklin ** Space Available
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Spots available! I have had some cancellations. Please contact us if you would like to join!  \nPlease respond to marty@donnellpond.com. Use Downeast Camping in the subject line. I will be in touch regarding payment. \nWe have reserved 4 tenting group campsites at the Reach Knolls Campground in Brooklin\, Maine. The campground is quiet with hot showers and on the ocean.

Stonington is 30 minutes away; Acadia National Park is an hour away. The Deer Isle archipelago is a favorite for kayakers\, but there is also plenty of hiking and other activities nearby. \nIf you plan to kayak and want to join a group\, make sure you have your own sea kayak with skirt\, pdf\, etc. Kayak group leaders will want to assess skill levels so that each group has the appropriate skill levels. We will want to keep pods of kayakers to 6 or less because parking can be limited at put ins. If you are interested in learning to kayak\, there are several outfitters nearby that can provide lessons and equipment. \nWe will have a pot luck dinner one night\, on your own/eat out one night\, and maybe a group breakfast SUNDAY morning. These are tent sites; there are RV sites around the corner\, but book now if you want an RV site. Don’t forget your chair for campfire circle. \nCost is initially $20/person. This may change depending on how many people sign up. We will limit this activity to 20 people.

SUMMARY:MOAC Monthly Meeting with Freddie Wilkinson
DESCRIPTION:The challenges and pleasures of climbing with Freddie Wilkinson\, Marketing Director and Partner at Salt Pump Climbing Company\, Scarborough. \n—————– \nFrom the teahouses of Khumbu Himal to obscure glaciers of the Alaska Range\, Freddie is an alpinist known for his infectious energy and original lines of ascent. He graduated with a degree in history from Dartmouth College\, though he probably spent more time roaming the White Mountains than he did studying. After school\, he fell into the guiding/climbing lifestyle for many years\, which afforded him the opportunity to travel and climb extensively in such places as Alaska\, Patagonia\, Yosemite Valley\, India and Nepal. In 2010\, he published the narrative non-fiction book “One Mountain Thousand Summits: The Untold Story of Tragedy and True Heroism on K2.” Wilkinson is also a partner guide at Cathedral Mountain Guides\, based out of North Conway\, New Hampshire. When not writing or away on expeditions\, he enjoys amateur lamb-farming with his wife Janet and two kids\, Casey and Oscar.

SUMMARY:Mt. Eisenhower hike
DESCRIPTION:Hike Mt. Eisenhower this Sunday.  It’s one of the 4\,000 footers in the Presidential Range.  It’s a moderately difficult hike at about 7 miles and 2\,800 feet elevation gain. \nWe’ll hike as a group at a moderate pace\, but the slowest hiker determines the pace.  I’m usually slower coming down than going up.  Book time is 6 hours. \nWe should carpool at least part way\, since parking at the trailhead will probably be tight on this holiday weekend.  Maximum 6 people.  Email me for more details\, including meeting time and place\, gear\, etc.

SUMMARY:Hike Glen Boulder Trail
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the expansive Presidential views and the unique geological feature of Glen Boulder on this 5.2 mile rugged round trip hike. We’ll hike up to Slide Peak\, which gives an elevation gain of 2\,850′. There’s the possibility of splitting into different carpool groups if anyone wants a longer hike\, to Boott Spur or Mt. Washington\, although the forecast is for 50+ mph winds at the elevation of Boott Spur or higher. Winds will be more moderate at Slide Peak (25+ mph)\, although I’ve experienced stronger winds than forecast on this hike before. Parts of the Glen Boulder trail involve steep rock scrambling up big boulders and there is some feeling of exposure so it’s not for someone with a fear of heights. \nThe high temp will be 65 at elevation\, warmer on the way up and down. Bring at least 2L of water\, snacks and lunch\, plus a windbreaker. Fully vaccinated\, experienced hikers only\, max group size is 8. RSVP by text or email (207-380-6008) for meeting times and places (we’re not leaving at 2 AM) and to arrange carpooling. \n

SUMMARY:Who wants to hike a NE Hundred Highest?
DESCRIPTION:Who wants to hike East Sleeper? East Sleeper has an established hiking trail. It is roughly 12.2 miles via the Downes Brook Trail and  the Kate Sleeper Trail. The trail is off Route 112 (Kancamagus Highway)\, near the Passaconaway Campground. Meet at trailhead at 8:30am. If anyone wants/needs a carpooling option\, please let me know. \n  \nI’m also planning hundred highest  hikes to Vose Spur\, Scar Ridge or Peak Above Nubble. I’m flexible on mountains\, dates and times.. Information below is from :http://4000footers.com. I will do \n  \nPeak Above the Nubble\, also known as Nubble Peak\, or PATN (Pronounced Patton) is a 3\,862 foot mountain in the Twin Range of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Topographic maps show 2 high point in this area: one being The Nubble and the other being Peak Above the Nubble\, which is the higher point. They are roughly 0.3 miles apart.Could be as little as 3.35 miles roundtrip (but could also be closer to 5 miles depending on the bushwhack route you take.) \nVose Spur– The miles on the Signal Ridge Trail & the Carrigain Notch Trail are easy\, but the bushwhack to the summit is very difficult\, steep and strenuous. It does not always have a herd path.  \nScar Ridge\, also known as Scar Ridge West Peak\, is a 3\,774 foot mountain in the Sandwich Range of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. There is no trail leading up to the summit of the mountain so the only way to summit this peak is by bushwhacking. \n  \nIf interested please email or text me at 207-219-9622. If I’m at work\, there may be a delay in answering you. – Melanie

SUMMARY:Acadia Hike and Bike
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Acadia Memorial Day weekend trip I will be leading a Hike and Bike on the carriage roads May 28th ( rain date May 29th ). From Bar Harbor Campground we will all meet up at the Brown Mountain parking lot on Route 3 at 8:30 AM (depending on our group needs and weather the time can be adjusted).  Please bring a bike suitable for the carriage roads\, helmet\, means of carrying your food and water.  There will be 2 short hikes as well so in the past we have brought bike locks.  The pace will be moderate to enjoy the views\, distance 12-20 cycling miles plus short hikes\, and will be passing by the Jordan Pond House (other than using the restrooms unlikely we will go inside). Plan on being back to the parking lot no later than 3:30 PM.  In a prior year there was a mini mutiny (thanks Dave)\, so we can adjust hikes and overall distance to accommodate individual needs.  Please TEXT me at 207-450-4707 if you plan on going or with general questions.  I will be creating a group text of all so if we have to move the time or a rain date I will be able to inform everyone quickly.  Again text me a 207-450-4707.  P.S. please bring a spare tube for your bike.

Although both peaks are over 4\,000′\, only one “counts” for the NH 48. There are spectacular views from Mt. Hight – two of the photos on this website were taken there. Be prepared for mud\, snow and ice – micro spikes are required. Also be prepared for black flies. Bring lunch\, snacks and 2 L water\, and there’s a chance of showers in the late afternoon so bring a rain shell. I hope to be off the mountain before any rain. RSVP by text (207-380-6008) or email for meeting places and times\, and to carpool (we’re not meeting at 2 AM). If we haven’t hiked together before\, please let me know your experience on 4\,000 footers in the winter. Fully vaccinated hikers only; max group size is 8.

SUMMARY:Lily Bay Group Camping Site
DESCRIPTION:UPDATED TO REFLECT PRICE\, LINK TO RESERVATION FORM\, AND REGULAR CAMPSITE INFO. \nMOAC has reserved what is called the most sought after group campsite in the Maine State Park System. We wanted beautiful late August but we got late May. Oh well. Early\, yes\, but we are hearty. It is a three night reservation. Friday through Monday. \nTo attend this weekend\,  please be fully vaccinated. \nThis trip is being co-led by Nancy Dorrans and Tammy/Peter Mullen. Nancy will handle the registration and payment part and Tammy/Peter the logistics. \nThe cost for the weekend is $25 regardless of how many nights you plan to stay. Max\, three nights. \nTo be placed on the waitlist\, CLICK HERE. \nPlease email us at pcm25me@gmail.com or njdorran@gmail.com with questions. \nFor those that might prefer a camper to a tent\, it would be possible to stay in the State Park campground itself and come hang out. These campsites will be first-come/first-served as reservations don’t start until the day we leave. The campground and the group site are not close together. A mile or two maybe? But it is an option. \nMud Brook Group Campsite is just north of Lily Bay State Park. Capacity is 50 with a large fire circle\, and a small cooking shelter if needed. It is surrounded on three sides by Moosehead Lake. It has a water source and a vault toilet. Showers in the State Park are  available but it is a drive to them. \nThe park is 8 miles out of Greenville on the eastern shore of Moosehead Lake. \nPaddle the lake or any of the other countless bodies of water nearby? Hike? Bike? Fish? Moose watch? Explore Greenville? Sit and read? Sit and read and drink wine? \nMore details will be coming so check back.

SUMMARY:Easy Backpack to Gentian Pond Shelter
DESCRIPTION:This will be a great chance for those with little backpacking experience to get out and test your gear\, though experienced folks are welcome as well. It will be a relatively short hike with one short steep section to the shelter on Friday\, (depending on the roads\, either about 2 or 3.5miles) and then we’ll day hike Mt Success on Saturday. It might be a bit early to dispense with your traction aids as there WILL be some icy sections on the upper sections of success. For those interested we can go find the DC-3 plane crash near the summit of Success. \nWe can still get some cold weather in early May. I will watch the weather and advise. I am limiting this to 6 people\, myself included. \nABOUT ME:\nI’ve been backpacking for nearly 50 years. I’m one of the original MOAC’ers and moved away to the hinterlands (Farmington) so I haven’t been active recently. \nPlease contact me to let me know your experience and whether you need help with gear. Our meeting place will be in Bethel at the information Center (right near the movie theater). The image is of the outlet at Gentian Pond (It’s one of my paintings)
