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

Slightly over 1 hour north of Portland taking 295 to 95 in Augusta.  Arrive anytime after 1:30.Come up to my camp.

SUMMARY:Saturday Sail
DESCRIPTION:Let’s meet in Falmouth and sail on Beyond II in Casco Bay. Bring a light rain jacket\, a swim suit and towel\, and healthy snacks and beverages to share. Closed toe shoes are safer on a boat and flip flops are a bad idea. If there’s wind\, we’ll sail around\,  and if there isn’t any wind\, we’ll drop a hook and find a beach. We’ll organize a carpool because Handyboat charges for parking. Please email me for more info. I can take 4 people.

SUMMARY: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 going book speed or faster. 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 70 at the summit and warmer below\, but not as hot as recent days. Bring at least 2L water\, lunch and snacks\, bug spray and a wind breaker for the top. We will probably stop afterwards for food and drink. \nFully vaccinated hikers only (covid is still around)\, max group size is 8. Text (207-380-6008) or email for meeting places and times (we’re not leaving at 2 am)\, and to carpool. If we haven’t hiked together before\, please call me to discuss your experience and gear rather than text or email. PLEASE NOTE: I’ll be camping in the White Mountains this weekend so you must sign up for this hike by 12 noon on Friday\, July 19 because after that I won’t have cell service and will not receive your messages. If you sign up\, we will wait no longer than 15 minutes for you after the designated meeting time and then will head out\, since I won’t know if you’ve canceled or been delayed.

SUMMARY:Rangeley State Park Long Weekend Camping
DESCRIPTION:Fellow MOAC’ers!! \nWelcome to summer!!  It’s time to start looking ahead and making plans for some brilliant outdoor adventures.  David and I are newer MOAC members and have decided to host our first weekend camping in Rangeley State Park.  Thanks to Tessa and other MOAC members (who we thank dearly) who worked the phone lines\, we were able to secure a group site\, along the water\, next to the beach\, the east side!!\n\nThe weekend begins the evening of Friday July 19th and carries onto the evenings of the 20th\, 21st and 22nd.  David and I will be there from the 19th through the 21st.  Attendees are free to stay through the 23rd.  We are opening up the weekend to 25 avid campers and outdoor adventurers.  The cost is $35 per person for all four nights.  Yes folks\, as seen on tv\, four nights for $35!!  Apologies in advance\, there are no refunds.\n\nWe stayed at this site last year –  25 campers with a blend of single and double site occupancy should ensure plenty of space.  We are not allowed to camp on the beach.  The sites are 150+ paces in from the parking.  Privy’s are on site and appropriately set a short distance from where we camp.  We noted with keen interest many had little four wheeled buggies to make carrying things in and out easier.  If we are majority singles\, please consider sharing a tent site as the sites are limited in number and some sites are larger than others.\n\nAlright… so you’ve decided to join… Here are the goods…  Fun is the order of the day.  We’ll need trip oriented leaders for hikes\, bikes\, walks and the like.  On Saturday I will lead a hike to Saddle Back from the trailhead on Route 4.  This is roughly 11.5 strenuous miles of pure joy.  Should we desire\, we can spot cars and hike down the mountain to Saddleback ski area which will shorten the mileage some but necessitates reconnecting to our vehicle(s) at day’s end.  Interested parties for this strenuous foot pounding endeavor should email me under separate cover to express interest and commit to car spotting.  To successfully complete this hike and be back at camp in time for the potluck we need to be at the trailhead 8am sharp so the day will start early.  You can learn a little more about the intended hike here:  https://www.mainetrailfinder.com/trails/trail/appalachian-trail-saddleback-mountain.  Rain will shift the hike to Sunday.  Biking\, Hiking\, Swimming\, Paddling are all treasured activities in the greater Rangeley arena.  Feel free to express your chosen endeavor and recruit participants.  There is a quaint town center for shopping if one desires.  Also – relaxing on the beach is just as much as an adventure.\n\nHosting will be new for us and your good humor\, flexibility and a willingness to pitch in makes the weekend a success.  David and I will host a pot-luck dinner on Saturday and will provide the proteins – chicken-sausage-burgers – or some variation thereof – along with fresh greens and vegetables for salads.  We’ll need folks to supplement with pasta mixes and desert.  To avoid food waste – contribute for fewer than will be present – this leans into the hope that all will be eaten.  I will maintain a food sign up list and share accordingly to avoid duplication of items.  I will email all attendees prior to our trip with final bits of information.  It is BYO-Beverages and all things in moderation keeps us sane\, happy and safe.  While Rangeley is very safe and reports little to no issues with wildlife it is critter country.  Secure all food coolers and food containers properly.  We will leave no open trash after the daily meals.  All trash can be disposed of in a bear safe dumpster by taking a short drive to the start of the campsites.  Group campfires Friday\, Saturday and Sunday.  Other than Saturday’s potluck – all meals and beverages are individual responsibility.\n\nChecks can be made payable and mailed to:  Robert Laverdure\, 93 Dead River Road\, Bowdoin\, ME  04287.  Deadline for trip commitment is July 12th.  We’ve heard of this thing called Venmo but sadly\, we only accept checks.\n\nCheers\,\nDave and Rob

SUMMARY:15 Mile Androscoggin River Kayak Trip
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a 15-mile MOAC kayak trip down the Androscoggin River on Saturday\, July 13 (the rain date is Sunday\, July 14). \nThanks to someone more familiar with the river\, the trip is now 15 miles with no portages. We will put in at Twin Bridge (Googins Island) in West Leeds and take out at Cherry Pond on River Road in Greene. The total distance is about 15 miles\, \nThis section has no rapids\, so it should be a moderate trip. Depending on group speed and current\, I estimate the time to be 5 to 6 hours on the water. We will meet at Cherry Pond on River Road in Greene at 8 am\, put our kayaks on 3-4 cars\, and carpool 20 minutes to Twin Bridge (Googins Island) in West Leeds. We will stop for lunch. We will stop for a group break if anyone needs a break. This section of the river is listed as scenic\, with ample opportunity to view wildlife. At the end of the trip\, we will carpool for 20 minutes to get the cars left in West Leeds. Expect a seven-hour day. Stopping at a local watering hole is an option. \nParticipants will need lunch\, water\, at least a 14.5-foot sea kayak\, have and wear a PFD\, know how to do a wet exit\, a self-rescue\, and an assisted rescue. A spray skirt and kayak wheels are recommended but not necessary. The trip is limited to 6-8 people. \nImages are Twin Bridge (Goggins Island) in West Leeds and Cherry Pond on River Road in Greene. \nAs of June 26\, eight people are registered: two men and six women. Feel free to sign up before registration closes on Monday\, July 8\, and I will put you on a waitlist.

SUMMARY:General Meeting Changed to July 10
DESCRIPTION:Ghosts of Mount Washington by Marianne O’Conner\nMore than one hundred lives have been lost on Mount Washington — it’s no wonder there are stories about ghostly activity there.  \nJoin us at the monthly MOAC Meeting on Wednesday\, June 10 from 6:30pm-8:30 when guest speaker Marianne O’Connor will share stories about those who have lost their lives on the mountain and the memorials that were established after. Some of the memorials have mysterious activity around them. Each one is a sad tale of loss. Marianne will also discuss “The Presence\,” an energy believed to be related to the many lives lost on the deadly mountain.  Each story of tragedy has a lesson and a warning of the adage\, accidents do happen.\nMarianne O’Connor is a retired educator and worked as a school counselor in Nashua\, NH before she retired and moved to Maine. She researched\, wrote\, and published “Haunted Hikes of New Hampshire” in 2008\, and in 2019 began working with a new publisher\, Peter Randall Publishers of Portsmouth\, on a 2nd edition. Marianne has written articles which have appeared in “New Hampshire Magazine\,” Hippo Press\, “Memories of Maine” and other outlets. She has appeared in New Hampshire Public Television’s popular series\, “Windows to the Wild” with Willem Lange. Since 2009\, Marianne has presented programming in schools\, libraries\, and historical centers across New England.\nMarianne currently works for RSU5 in Freeport\, she volunteers for WMPG and produces a radio show\, “Rock Lobstah” on Sunday mornings at 10:00AM. Marianne serves on several committees in Lisbon\, including the Lisbon Historical Society.\nHer father and mother were avid hikers and introduced she and her siblings to the joys of the mountains.  Marianne enjoys hiking on local trails with her dog Bella and exploring local history.\nCome at 6:30 for social hour and snacks. Stay for pictures\, trip reports and an interesting discussion/presentation.

SUMMARY:UPDATE kayak and BBQ canceled
DESCRIPTION:***With 30 to 40% chances of severe thunderstorms with hail around 4:00\, I’ve decided to cancel ***  \nHello!  Hoping to get out on the water at camp before the rain comes.  Kayak for about an hour and a half with a stop on a sandbar to swim or just stretch our legs.  On the water at 3:30 (so please come early enough to unload in time for that).  You are required to have a PFD and whistle with you on the water or you may get a ticket if the rangers are out.  I have extra kayaks (sit on tops) if needed\, but let me know ahead of time.  I have PFDs\, whistles and paddles to go with them. \nFor those interested\, we can eat after.  BYO protein for the grill\, beverages and a dish to share.   I’ll supply charcoal for the grill and condiments\, paper plates\, etc (but if you bring own reusable\, even better).   I have no musical skill\, but if anyone wants to bring an instrument to play\, happy to have you do that.  You’re welcome to just come to the BBQ if you can’t make the paddle – we should be back and ready to get the grill lit up by 5:30. \n

SUMMARY:Paddle Donnell Pond
DESCRIPTION:Donnell Pond and the surrounding area was one of the first purchases of the Land for Maine’s Future Fund. Most of the lake is preserved with several small pocket beaches. It is called a pond but it’s pretty big\, with three areas to explore.  We can paddle\, swim\, maybe hike a little from Redman Beach. After\, we can walk into the blueberry fields\, perhaps all the way to Little Pond (about 3 miles)\, and pick blueberries as we go. Let’s bring a lunch. \nKayaks or canoes; PFD’s required. I have an extra kayak\, but it will need to be transported from Ellsworth. \nIf you are not camping\, but would like to join us\, text me at 207-801-1488.

SUMMARY:Hike Long Ledges and Baker Hill\, Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Frenchman Bay Conservancy has some nice hikes away from the congestion of Acadia NP. These two hikes are moderate hikes through woods and granite. Baker Hill offers great views of Mount Desert Island. There are several possible loops so we can hike as much as we want. After\, we can stop at Tidal Falls. If the timing is right\, the reversing falls should be ripping. There may be some other sites we might like to catch. \nLet’s gather at 9:30 at the campground. It’s about a 25 minute drive to the trail head. Bring a lunch – not that many places and might be busy. \nIf you are not camping with us\, but would like to join\, text me at 207-801-1488.
