SUMMARY:MOAC Monthly Meeting and Presentation - Changed
DESCRIPTION:Kindness: The Superpower for the 21st Century \nJeff Edelstein has had epic adventures in his life\, from the remote Southwest deserts to the high peaks of the Rockies to the barrenlands of arctic Canada. But he’ll be talking about a different type of adventuring\, highly relevant in these times: his work resolving environmental conflict around the U.S.\, helping members of Congress work together across party lines and – most recently – launching Acts of Kindness Maine\, helping individuals\, businesses\, public entities and communities cultivate the kindness that exists in all of us\, in these challenging times. \nIn just two years\, AOK Maine has touched the lives of Mainers throughout the state and attracted national interest. At the meeting\, folks will get to “Spin the Wheel of Kindness\,” hear and share stories of acts of kindness – in the outdoors or anywhere – and learn about AOK Maine’s activities. Everyone will receive a small kindness gift that can be used to create a kindness ripple effect. \nJeff’s life has followed a fulfilling winding path. After dropping out of college\, he commercial fished in Alaska\, lived in a Buddhist monastery\, ran a farm and logged in the Northwest\, roamed around Central America\, and hitchhiked all around the US. He returned to school and got an engineering degree\, but his true calling turned out to be working as an environmental mediator\, resolving conflict on federal forest management policy\, fracking in the Yellowstone region\, hazardous waste cleanup on NYC’s Gowanus Canal\, resolving the South Portland “Tar Sands Pipeline” controversy\, and much more. Jeff is now devoting himself to the adventure of exploring the depths and breadth of what kindness actually means\, and planting seeds of kindness everywhere. Kindness: The Way Life Should Be! \n________________ \nIn addition to the presentations\, the meeting is a chance to hear about recent outings\, hear about upcoming outings\, and socialize with other MOACers. It’s also a chance for new or prospective members to ask questions. Meeting begins at 7:00\, but come at 6:30 to socialize and meet people. \nLocation: the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church\, 524 Allen Avenue\, Portland (near Northgate Shopping Plaza). Here’s a Google Map link.

SUMMARY:Take Pride in Acadia Day\, 2024 - Registration is closed
DESCRIPTION:For 33 years\, volunteers have gathered on the first Saturday of November to help ready the famous carriage roads for winter. Sponsored by Friends of Acadia\, teams are assigned troublesome sections of carriage roads where erosion can cause damage over the winter. The task? Rake the leaves and debris off the shoulders and into the woods. MOAC has had members at this event for many years. We have a team that will work together. \nIf you follow the Friends of Acadia link above\, there will be information about how to sign up for the event. PLEASE do not do that. Since we are working as a group\, use the sign up link below so I can keep track. I will submit our roster of names to Friends. \nPlease click HERE to sign up. Your email is so we can communicate before the weekend. Your phone number so we can as well during the weekend. \nMost who sign up make it a weekend\, but that is not required. The actual commitment to the park is from roughly 8:30 am to noon on Saturday. If you choose to make it a weekend\, the rest of the time is yours. \nThere is no cost to the event itself. If you choose to stay over\, you will need to find your own lodging. Tam and I are staying at the Bar Harbor Grand Hotel\, right in downtown and that has been the hotel of choice for the most part for a few years now. But\, you can do as you wish in this regard. The Grand offers a free breakfast. Local restaurants for the rest. \nExcept for the provided lunch after the work Saturday. After our work commitment is done\, we can head over to the Hulls Cove Visitors Center for a “CCC” lunch. Chili\, cornbread\, and cider.  Aside from the ingredients\, it’s named to honor the Civilian Conservation Corp\, who did a lot of work in Acadia.

SUMMARY:MOAC Trail Maintenance Day
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for another MOAC trail maintenance day on our adopted trails on Pleasant Mountain.  Please consider joining us Saturday October 19th as we work on the Bald Peak and Sue’s Way trails\, which are under the stewardship of the Loon Echo Land Trust.   Come fall\, there’s always plenty of leaves to rake and waterbars to clean out.  If we get a big enough crew\, we’ll start work on rebuilding the rock causeway on the Bald Peak Trail that’s just before the junction for the Sue’s Way trail.  If you’ve never joined a trail crew to help maintain a trail\, not to worry – there’s no experience necessary!  Just be sure to wear work clothes that will probably get a bit dirty\, bring good sturdy footwear\, work gloves\, plenty of water\, your lunch\, and a day pack to carry it all!   Watch the weather forecast bring appropriate outerwear.  If it’s a really rainy day\, I’ll reschedule.  But I’ve emailed Mother Nature asking for a sunny day.  So\, we’ll see what we get!  🙂 \nMeet us at the Bald Peak trailhead parking lot at 9am.  The trailhead is on Mountain Road\, Bridgton\, about a mile after the ski area.  We usually call it a day about 3 or 4pm.  If you have any questions about the day\, or just want to sign up\, shoot me an email\, send me a text\, give me a call\, or send a carrier pigeon\, whatever work for you!

SUMMARY:MH&T’s Flagstaff Hut - LIMITED SPACE LEFT
DESCRIPTION:We are taking signups for this years Hut trip. Cost for the weekend is $150 per person. \nMake out and mail checks to: Peter Mullen\, 38 Lawrence Rd\, Gray\, Maine 04039 \nOr: Venmo to: @Peter-Mullen-12. If asked for a code\, enter “6701” \nWe will answer any questions you have at any time. \nJoin us for the 11th annual Maine Huts & Trails weekend. MH&T’s operates four “ecolodges” along their network of trails in the Bigelows and Flagstaff Lake. For this weekend\, Flagstaff Hut\, on the eastern shore of the lake is all ours. \nIt’s far more than a hut. A full commercial kitchen\, hot water\, electricity\, composting toilets\, etc. Sleeping is bunk room style. This is the earliest we have done this trip so the fall colors should still be sweet to look at. This “hut” has a capacity of 48. We hope to limit it to 40 or so. We had 40 last year. \nActivities can include hiking\, mountain biking\, paddling (boats and gear provided)\, swimming\, or doing nothing. You must walk in. From the parking lot\, it is 1.5 miles\, you can drive to within a mile where you can unload your stuff at a gate. We try to provide as many carts as possible to help in this manner. Also\, we had a generous gear shuttle last year that we will do everything possible to duplicate. This would mean leaving your gear in a building at the parking lot and it will be delivered in (and out) so you only have to walk. \nYou only need to bring clothes (slippers)\, sleeping bag\, pillow case\, personal items\, and food as described below. You DO NOT need to bring anything to cook with or to eat on. Refrigeration is available but limited. You will have access to the kitchen. \nThe way the food works\, you provide your own food for Friday\, Saturday morning and noon. You will be asked to bring a “slice” of Saturday night’s dinner which all the “slices” will be combined for a fantastic feed. Previous meals have included a pizza bar\, pasta bar\, and taco bar. TBD what this year’s menu will be. On Sunday morning a portion of your payment for the weekend will provide a full spread breakfast. Pancakes\, frittata\, bacon\, sausage\, fruit\, granola\, yogurt\, etc. Vegetarian? Vegan? We have options for everyone. Coffee and tea and hot chocolate provided at least in the morning. BYOB for alcohol consumed outside of the hut. Alcohol inside needs to be purchased from MH&T.

SUMMARY:MOAC and LELT volunteer appreciation gathering
DESCRIPTION:Join MOAC and LELT trail crew volunteers’ social gathering/picnic on Friday Sept. 20 at 4pm.  It will be at Hacker’s Hill on Quaker Ridge Road in Casco.   This is only for MOAC members who have volunteered for the MOAC trail maintenance on Pleasant Mountain in the past 7 years since we have been working with the Loon Echo Land Trust.  LELT would like to show their appreciation for all the dedicated volunteer trail work we have done on the Bald Peak Trail and the Sue’s Way Trail.  The hard-working folks of the AMC Maine trail crew will also be in attendance.   LELT will provide pizza and cold beverages.   I have gone back through all my trail maintenance sign up sheets for the past 7 years in hopes to include everyone that has volunteered with MOAC on Pleasant Mountain – see separate email.  If you’ve never been up on Hacker’s Hill\, you’re in for a treat.  The view of the Sebago lakes region and the White Mountains is one of the best in southern Maine!    This is “NOT” a show-and-go event.  Please contact me if you think you may attend.  LELT needs a reasonable head count for the food and drinks they are providing. \nThanks\, Dana-ah The Maintain-ah

SUMMARY:100 Mile Cross NH Bike Ride
DESCRIPTION:This is a 90 mile ride across New Hampshire\, on the Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail.  There is a lot of information on the ride at WWW.XNHAT.ORG.  We will depart Thursday September 19th in the afternoon to shuffle cars and we will camp out in on the Vermont side near Woodsville at the Twin River Campground.   We’ll start the morning of Friday the 20th at the trail head and bike 40+ miles to the Isreal River Campground.  Heated Pool.  The next day we will pass the Appalatian Trail\, where we can\, if we’re up to it\, climb a 2 mile\, 4\,000 foot section up to the peak of Mt. Madison.  This is an optional part of the trip.  The ride is only 40 miles and almost all down hill\, so if we have some extra energry\, we might want to explore a climb.  That’s it.  A pretty simple 2 day trip.  You’ll need camping gear and a bike that’s comfortable both off road and on.  30mm would be the smallest tire I’d want to ride on this.  A gravel bike\, a touring bike\, or a hybrid with larger tires or a hard tail mountian bike would all be fine.  Feel free to call with questions Pat Coon 323-1805.

SUMMARY:Improv-A-Ganza at Westbrook On Tap!  (Heather Ellsworth from MOAC is one of the featured performers)
DESCRIPTION:Hello all!  Apparently I have signed up to be one of 4 participants in a comedy improv contest!  (I used to run a comedy improv troupe in Camden.)  Both the venue and the format are new to me – I’m both excited and nervous!  If you’re looking for some laughs or just feel like supporting my adventure\, come on down.  Here’s a description of the event from the producer: \n“Join us for an evening filled with hilarious\, unscripted\, short-form improv skits\, witty banter\, and unpredictable comedy. Our talented performers will have you laughing your a$$ off with their quick wit and off the cuff humor. Don’t miss out on this one of a kind event that guarantees a night of fun and entertainment. This show\, and every show that we do\, is unscripted and unrehearsed. Our 4 performers will take prompts and scenes given by the host and by members of the audience\, and create uniquely hilarious situations and reactions. The performers will be scored on their performance throughout the evening\, and our winner will receive a Westbrook On Tap gift certificate and the option to be a performer on the next (or a future) Improv-A-Ganza event! So bring your friends\, grab some food and drinks\, and enjoy the show! This is a FREE event\, and will take place at Westbrook On Tap on Sunday\, September 8th from 6:30-8:30pm!”

SUMMARY:MOAC Monthly Meeting & Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Local Cyclist Invented the “Survue” to Alert Cyclists to Vehicles Approaching from the Rear\nOne of our two guests\, Josh Fox\, an engineer and cyclist\, felt trapped with tall curbs and zooming traffic several years ago\, so decided it was too risky to trailer his daughter when riding. “I started by just taking my phone and literally duct-taping it to my bike\, recording a video\, and running it through an open-source algorithm to see what happens\,” Fox says. “The algorithms grew more and more efficient in pinpointing the location of a vehicle and predicting its future movements. The battery got better and smaller\, so the device was eventually small enough that a cyclist would be willing to stick it on their bike.” \nMOAC Group Cycles the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail\nPat Coon organized a five-night camping and biking trip in Vermont in June 2024. From Pat\, “I’ve biked since I was a kid. When I was in college I learned to fix bikes and started commuting from Amherst to Northampton\, and taking longer adventures\, across Massachusetts then from Boston to Florida. Then I was a bike courier in Chicago for a winter. That was fun. I lived for years without a car in Maine and biked everywhere. As I got older I got out of it\, I think there were two summers when I didn’t have a functional bike. Then about three years ago\, I got back in. First with electric bikes\, then analog. I started doing some bike touring\, and I discovered the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail\, roughly a 150-mile\, (3-4% incline) flat ride from Burlington to St. Johnsbury\, Vermont.” \nIn preparation\, Pat posted multiple bike rides around South Portland that he called\, “Bug to Barrel\,” from Bug Light to Barrelled Souls\, a brewery. Each ride included parts of the Eastern Trail\, roads around SoPo\, Cape and Scarborough. The final “shakedown” ride was 40 miles\, fully loaded with touring gear. \nBike adventures are a challenge of logistics\, of mechanics\, of endurance\, and of spirit. Come see and hear how the group had a super duper trip! \n___________________ \nIn addition to the presentations\, the meeting is a chance to hear about recent outings\, hear about upcoming outings\, and socialize with other MOACers. It’s also a chance for new or prospective members to ask questions. Meeting begins at 7:00\, but come at 6:30 to socialize and meet people. \nLocation: the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church\, 524 Allen Avenue\, Portland (near Northgate Shopping Plaza). Here’s a Google Map link. \n

SUMMARY:Hike the Owl at Baxter Park
DESCRIPTION:This is a whole day event so we will get an early start in order to be back for Happy Hour and Dinner.  The drive from the camping area to the trailhead is a 45-60 minute drive.  We MUST carpool due to a limited number of parking spots at Katahdin Stream. \nDistance to Summit: 3.7 miles\, 7.4 miles round trip\nTime: 4-6 hours round trip\nLevel: Serious \nThe hike is an easy climb for the first mile before the trail begins to get much steeper. The trail is very rocky in spots so hiking poles are recommended unless you’d rather use your hands bouldering\, which is perfectly doable. The views of Katahdin from the summit of The Owl are some of the best views of Baxter Peak\, and there are views of countless surrounding lakes and mountains. \nAs the closest mountain on the western side of Katahdin\, The Owl has a front-row seat to the best views and waterfalls in Maine’s Baxter State Park. \nEileen Whynot\n207-749-0211

SUMMARY:Baxter weekend-  The Brothers\, Mount Coe and Fort Mountain
DESCRIPTION:This is an  11.5-mile loop  on the Marston Trail. This strenuous but beautiful hike climbs 1 4000 footer\, and 3 of the Hundred Highest of New England and has an Elevation gain of 4\,652 feet so be prepared with lots of food\, layers  hydration\, and a headlamp ( just in case).  \nI plan to be back for the potluck. \nWe will hike the Marston  Trail Loop counterclockwise over Mount Coe\, South Brother\,North Brother and Fort Mountain. \nThere is a difficult slide climb on Mount Coe which is why we need to do it clockwise as it would be difficult to descend. \nFort Mountain is a buschwack but recent trail reports state there is a herd path. We will bag Fort Mountain if it gets too late\, too long or is too hard to follow but ideally I would like to do it if conditions are good. Fort Mountain was also the scene of a plane crash. \nI spoke to the ranger and he said the trail may be fairly busy because  it is a holiday weekend and people who don’t have parking for Kahtadin often hear for the brothers if they can’t do Kahtadin. \nNo parking reservation is needed but we should meet at the bridge at the Nesowadnehunk Field Campground and carpool over to the nearby trail. \nEmail me at melanieslawlor@smccme.edu \nor call or text at 207- two hundred and no teen- 9622 \nI will be in Baxter early Friday morning so I won’t have reception after that. I will be at the Nesowadnehunk Field Campground Friday evening.

SUMMARY:Abol Trail on Katahdin @ Baxter State Park
DESCRIPTION:This is an event hosted at the Baxter State park Labor day weekend! \n3.4 miles (plus 1 mile on Hunt trail 4.4 miles total one way to Baxter Peak) Elevation gain 3\,982ft \nI have yet to do this trail but its description is: \nThis trail is the shortest route to Baxter Peak from a roadside trailhead. The trail formerly utilized the prominent Abol Slide\, but was relocated in 2015 after soil and rock movement on the slide increased the hazard to hikers. The relocated trail uses the ridge to the west of the slide and provides a steady\, but steep ascent with excellent views. Water is limited after the first mile and the trail is fully exposed after 2.5 miles. On warm days\, an early start is recommended. Once on the Tableland you will connect with the Hunt trail (AT) for the last mile. \nDifficulty level: Very Strenuous \nTrailhead Parking lot: Abol Campground

SUMMARY:Baxter Weekend- Double Top Mountain Hike
DESCRIPTION:This is a 7 mile out and back hike of Double Top that starts at the Nesowadnehunk Field Campground at the Doubletop Mountain Trail.  Meet at the trailhead at 11am. It should take around 4 to 5 hours depending how long we take. This is a strenuous hike so plan accordingly. \nDoubletop Mountain (north peak 3\,489 feet\, south peak 3\,455 ft) guards the western edge of Baxter State Park (BSP)\, its tufted\, twin summit ridge looming like the profile of a slumped\, pudgy Dark Knight. The views of this signature BSP mountain are impressive\, as its unique profile and steep drops make for a formidable photo over Nesowadnehunk Stream or from the rugged peaks to its east. \nFor those who like hiking lists. Doubletop is on the Fifty Finest of New England. \nIf you have any questions please text me at 207-two-hundred and ninteen- 9622 or email- melanieslawlor@smccme.edu. \n

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting & Presentation
DESCRIPTION:August Presentation: MITA\, the Maine Island Trail Association \nPlease joins us as Membership Manager Kayla Bickerman-Martens of the Maine Island Trail Association (MITA) tells us who MITA is and how it came into being. She will also share information about the trail\, how to become a member\, and make the most of your membership using the App and the Guide. \nThe Maine Island Trail Association\, founded in 1988\, is a border-to-border (New Hampshire/Canada) water trail along the coast of Maine. Currently comprised of 258 sites that are available for public day use and/or overnight use. Each season\, we engage with upwards of 1\,000 volunteers and over 6\,000 members who help us maintain these incredible island ecosystems and keep them healthy and thriving. \n———————————————— \nKalyn joined the full-time MITA staff in February of 2023\, having previously served as a membership associate from 2021-2022. She was born and raised in Maine and has always had a connection to the islands\, particularly through her background in canoe and kayak instruction. She received her BA in Biology from Bowdoin and her MA in Conservation Biology from Columbia University\, and (fun fact) is also an entomologist. \n \n———————— \n\nIn addition to the presentations\, the meeting is a chance to hear about recent outings\, hear about upcoming outings\, and socialize with other MOACers.  It’s also a chance for new or prospective members to ask questions.  Meeting begins at 7:00\, but come at 6:30 to socialize and meet people. \nLocation: the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church\, 524 Allen Avenue\, Portland (near Northgate Shopping Plaza).  Here’s a Google Map link.
