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.

SUMMARY:Climb Mt. Hight and Carter Dome
DESCRIPTION:Climb Mt. Hight and Carter Dome via the Nineteen Mile Brook and Carter Dome Trails – about 10 miles round trip\, 3\,500′ elevation gain. (Rescheduled from 5/15.) 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)
