SUMMARY:Sorry\, we are FULL - MH&T’s Flagstaff Hut
DESCRIPTION:Maine Huts & Trails operates four “Eco-Lodges” in northern Maine\, and for the weekend of October 27-29\, their Flagstaff Hut is all ours. The hut is located on the eastern shore of Flagstaff Lake\, about a 2.5 hour drive from Portland. \nThis will be our 10th year leading this trip and each year it is an experience to remember. Good company\, good food\, and the Maine woods. How could it not be? \nFlagstaff Hut (in name only) is an off-the-grid lodge (capacity of 44-48) with amenities. Electricity is provided by solar panels and a generator. Hot water via propane\, and heat\, if needed\, via wood. The building has composting toilets\, showers\, and a full commercial kitchen with refrigeration. \nThe cost for this weekend is $100 per person. \nSleeping is bunk room style (earplugs) in two separate buildings apart from the main lodge (earplugs). \nYou need to bring a sleeping bag\, pillow cover (recommended)\, clothes\, and personal items (earplugs). You will need to provide your own food for Friday\, Saturday morning\, and Saturday lunch. You DO NOT need to bring anything to cook with or on. You will have full use of the commercial kitchen. In a process perfected by Tammy\, you will be asked bring a small amount of food to contribute to the cause for Saturday dinner. More on that later. Sunday breakfast is a full spread paid for by part of your payment for the weekend. \nCoffee/tea/hot chocolate will be provided at least in the mornings and for some reason\, Happy Hours tend to materialize in the late afternoons. No obligation to participate but donations for those are welcome as well. \nThe hut is designed to be remote. You cannot drive to it. Gear can be dropped off at the service gate to shorten the distance but all must be carried in and out. We try to have as many carts and wagons as people are willing to bring to share to help move stuff. Your vehicle will be two miles from the hut when parked in the lot. Please keep this in mind as you plan on what you are bringing. \nActivities can include hiking\, mountain biking\, paddling\, navel gazing\, reading\, puzzles\, drinking wine\, staring at the fire. Music if the right people show up. Keep moving every second\, or do nothing. \nPlease click HERE to sign up. \nChecks can be made to Peter Mullen and mailed to 38 Lawrence Rd\, Gray\, 04039. $100 per person for the weekend\, \nWe also accept Venmo. Pay to tammy-mullen-5. Please put “MOAC” in the comments. \nWe look forward to seeing old friends and new faces at Flagstaff this fall.

SUMMARY:Camp Day in Gray on Little Sebago
DESCRIPTION:We had so much fun at Jean’s yesterday\, I decided to post for a day at camp at my place in Gray.  Especially since there are (at least for now) no warnings of thunderstorms!  I’ll be there by 2:00\, come any time after that and swim\, paddle\, eat\, or nap in the hammock.  Stay for a couple of hours or for the duration.   🙂   I’m not planning a particular time for a group paddle\, but people can go out whenever.  I have a few sit-on-top kayaks and paddle boards or you can bring your own boat.  Or stay on shore and relax.  Fun hour (so as not to confuse it with MOAC happy hour) around 5:00 and we’ll light the grill around 5:30 ish for BBQ. \nAs usual – BYO drinks\, snacks and protein for the grill and a dish to share for dinner if you stay.  I’ll provide charcoal and have most condiments\, as well as paper plates\, etc.  But if you bring your own reusables\, the planet will thank you. \nShow and go if you decide to come last minute\, but I do appreciate a heads up so I have an idea of how many to expect.  lmitchell75@aol.com \n255 Westwood Rd in Gray.  If you have a boat you can drive down to unload\, park in the space by the road behind the camp. \n

SUMMARY:July 4th upta camp
DESCRIPTION:Paddle\, swim\, eat\, drink and be merry…maybe nap in the hammock…  So far\, the weather looks good for the 4th and I plan on spending the day at camp on Little Sebago Lake.  I’ll be there by 2:00 and you’re welcome to come anytime after that.  Stay a couple of hours or the whole afternoon.  The grill will get lit around 5:00 pm.  BYO meat for the grill\, drinks and a dish to share.  I have several chairs\, but bringing your own might be handy\, depending on how many people show up. \nPleas RSVP if you plan on attending and I’ll send the address\, parking is somewhat limited\, so carpooling can be helpful. \nI have a few paddle boards and kayaks (mostly sit on top\, plus safety gear) and a canoe I can share or you can bring your own boat.  There isn’t a real set time for paddling\, it will depend on the group and people can go out any time.  But we’ll shoot for a 3:30ish group start on the water.  However\, you also can just hang out at camp if you don’t want to paddle. \n

SUMMARY:27th Annual Paddle For Pine Tree Camp
DESCRIPTION:The 27th annual Bath Savings Paddle for Pine Tree Camp returns this June with two locations. \nPaddlers will have the chance to reunite in Solon for the traditional route down the Kennebec River or experience the new loop on the Androscoggin River in Brunswick. \nBoth paddles are family-friendly and perfect for all ages\, skill levels\, and abilities. Paddlers can also opt to participate virtually. \nProviding two locations and two dates and making it a weekend-long event serves one purpose: to raise funds for Maine kids and adults with disabilities to experience freedom and independence at Pine Tree Camp. We are Maine’s only American Camping Association-Accredited camp for people with disabilities and 100% of proceeds from this event directly benefit Pine Tree Camp’s Open Door Policy. \nExciting news: Pine Tree Camp’s overnight summer camp sessions are returning to 100% capacity in 2023\, bringing Maine kids and adults with disabilities back together for a much-needed week of friendship and fun on the shores of North Pond. The return to 100% capacity makes our Paddle fundraising efforts even more important. \nComing together to enjoy the Maine outdoors embodies the spirit of Pine Tree Camp. Throughout the pandemic\, our camp team created new programming in the form of Adventure Day Pass days and Family Recreation Weekends\, safely ensuring Maine people with disabilities full access to the outdoors in all four seasons. This programming proved to be life-changing for many of our camp families and continues to be offered. \nDid you know? Since 1945\, Pine Tree Camp has welcomed all who could benefit\, regardless of their ability to pay. The funds raised from the Bath Savings Paddle for Pine Tree Camp are a critical part of our open-door tuition policy all year-round. \n  \nPaddle on the Kennebec River on June 3rd \nOur traditional Paddle for Pine Tree Camp experience. Join us and bring your fundraising team as we paddle the Kennebec River for Pine Tree Camp on Saturday\, June 3rd. The adventure starts at the Evergreens Campground at 9:30 a.m. and ends in North Anson. \nPaddle on the Androscoggin River on June 4th \nOur new location with the traditional Pine Tree Camp experience. Join us at 9:30 a.m. and bring your fundraising team as we paddle the Androscoggin River for Pine Tree Camp on Sunday\, June 4th. The adventure starts and ends at the Water Street Boat Launch in Brunswick.

SUMMARY:Maine Sea Kayak Club “kickoff the season” dry land event
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Herlihy wanted to share about a Southern Maine Sea Kayak Network event on Saturday\, June 3 at Payson Park in Portland. Exact location within the park will be determined that morning based on availability but we are treating it as a “kickoff the season” dry land event for folks to gather and share knowledge about boats\, gear\, sea kayak camping\, etc.  \nJoseph Herlihy (joe.herlihy@gmail.com) is the host of the event and it will be from 9-12 and intended to be a casual “drop by” event. Bring your coffee and go connect with some experienced ocean paddlers about the sport. This may be a nice\, casual event for those MOAC members interested in learning more about ocean kayaking along the Maine coast. Steady rain will cancel. \nMore specific details at this link: \nhttps://www.meetup.com/southern-maine-sea-kayaking-network/events/291984264/

SUMMARY:MH&T’s Flagstaff Hut
DESCRIPTION:Please be vaccinated to join this trip. Thanks! \nMaine Huts & Trails operates four “Eco-Lodges” in northern Maine\, and for the weekend of October 14-16\, their Flagstaff Hut is all ours. The hut is located on the eastern shore of Flagstaff Lake\, about a 2.5 hour drive from Portland. \nThis will be our 8th year leading this trip and each year it is an experience to remember. Good company\, good food\, and the Maine woods. How could it not be? \nFlagstaff Hut (in name only) is an off-the-grid lodge (capacity of 44-48) with amenities. Electricity is provided by solar panels and a generator. Hot water via propane\, and heat\, if needed\, via wood. The building has composting toilets\, showers\, and a full commercial kitchen with refrigeration. \nThe cost for this weekend is $65 per person. \nSleeping is bunk room style (earplugs) in two separate buildings apart from the main lodge (earplugs). \nYou need to bring a sleeping bag\, pillow cover (recommended)\, clothes\, and personal items (earplugs). You will need to provide your own food for Friday\, Saturday morning\, and Saturday lunch. You DO NOT need to bring anything to cook with or on. You will have full use of the commercial kitchen. In a process perfected by Tammy\, you will be asked bring a small amount of food to contribute to the cause for Saturday dinner. More on that later. Sunday breakfast is a full spread paid for by part of your payment for the weekend. \nCoffee/tea/hot chocolate will be provided at least in the mornings and for some reason\, Happy Hours tend to materialize in the late afternoons. No obligation to participate but donations for those are welcome as well. \nThe hut is designed to be remote. You cannot drive to it. Gear can be dropped off at the service gate to shorten the distance but all must be carried in and out. We try to have as many carts and wagons as people are willing to bring to share to help move stuff. Your vehicle will be two miles from the hut when parked in the lot. \nActivities can include hiking\, mountain biking\, paddling\, navel gazing\, reading\, puzzles\, drinking wine\, staring at the fire. Music if the right people show up. Keep moving every second\, or do nothing. \nPlease click HERE to sign up. \nChecks can be made to Peter Mullen and mailed to 38 Lawrence Rd\, Gray. $65 per person for the weekend\, \nWe also accept Venmo. Pay to tammy-mullen-5. Please put “MOAC” in the comments. \nWe look forward to seeing old friends and new faces at Flagstaff this fall.

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. Brooklin is a small village south of Blue Hill\, ME and away from the tourism of many coastal areas. Explore the Blue Hill and Deer Isle Peninsula by bike\, kayak\, or hike. 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. Arrive Friday\, July 8\, depart Sunday morning\, July 10 – two nights of fun and three days of adventure. Or stay two more night\, let me know the length of your stay. \nLocation\nOceanfront Camping @ Reach Knolls\n670 Reach Road\, Brooklin ME\nView Map \nPlease respond to marty@donnellpond.com. Use Downeast Camping in the subject line. I will be in touch regarding payment.

DESCRIPTION:Join me for my annual (outside of pandemics!) July 4th gathering at camp.  Come for an hour or two\, or stay for the afternoon and evening. \nWe may head out for a paddle around 4:00 depending on interest\, but anyone would be welcome to go out whenever.  Bring your boat or borrow one of mine (I have sit on tops\, paddle boards and a canoe.  Also a sail board if it’s windy enough.  Or just relax\, play a lawn game (I have ladder toss\, if someone has corn hole or another to bring\, that would be great). \nWe’ll fire up the charcoal grill around 5:30.  BYO food and drinks.  If you want to bring something to share\, that’s okay\, but some are still leery of sharing communal dishes\, so it’s more BYO than official pot luck. \nI can’t offer a big fireworks display this year – that neighbor has moved away (plus it’s a Monday…)\, but there will probably be other sporadic ones around the area. \n  \nPlease RSVP for the address and so I know who’s coming ~ 207.807.2729 or lmitchell75@aol.com

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:Ossippee River Trip
DESCRIPTION:I have run this river trip for MOAC most years since joining the club back in 1998. 7 miles of Class 2 whitewater. This is not a raft trip. Canoes and or Whitewater Kayaks are the river craft used here. I need to chat with interested participants to understand their level of experience and what gear they are bringing. We have had occasional out of boat experiences (I had one early on) and want to make sure participants have the proper gear in case of an unplanned swim. The water is still cold and hypothermia is a significant concern if one leaves their boat. We usually stop for lunch along the way. We usually have significant fun doing this. We may also have some folks join us from the Penobscot Paddle and Chowder Society (another outdoor group here in Maine that concentrates on water sports). If interested\, give me a shout. Bob
