SUMMARY:Pisgah Hill Preserve Full Moon Trek
DESCRIPTION:Come join us atop Pisgah Hill in New Gloucester to howl at the beautiful full Snow Moon as it rises majestically over nearby Bradbury Mountain!  The 12th installment of Royal River Conservation Trust’s extremely popular annual hike\, this year promises crisp\, clear skies for a fantastic experience.  This is an accessible\, low intensity 1.6 mile (total distance up and down) trek to the hilltop where we’ll be greeted with RRCT’s signature hospitality\, including hot cocoa\, s’mores and a roaring campfire to keep warm. \nLet’s plan on our MOAC contingent meeting at the Doughtery Road trailhead at 5:00pm (74 Dougherty Road\, New Gloucester).  That way\, we can catch RRCT’s introductory remarks\, and enjoy the sunset before setting out at dusk for the brief amble up to the top of Pisgah Hill.  Bring appropriate clothing (layers are best)\, hat\, gloves\, lighting (headlamp is recommended) and traction aids (if you have them\, just to be on the safe side).  RRCT also recommends water\, your cell phone and a whistle for safety.  Snow pack looks iffy at best\, but RRCT promises a magical trip up and down Pisgah with the trail lit by lanterns and snow cairns.  Open to all ages/abilities.   Leashed\, well-behaved canines and their conscientious\, waste-clearing owners are welcome.  Further details and registration form can be found at the website listed below.  Do pre-register however\, so RRCT volutneers can plan for adequate refreshments. \nI can be reached at marchills@gmail.com and/or text @ 207-332-8250  If texting\, please identify yourself!

SUMMARY:See the Northern Lights!
DESCRIPTION:Great opportunity this winter to see the aurora borealis! The Van Allen belt is the most active it’s been in 20 years.  Abisko\, Sweden; Yellowknife\, NWT\,Canada ; and Churchill\, Manitoba\, Canada are possibilities\, with odds of about 90% of seeing the lights IF the night is clear (something the ads didn’t always mention).  I plan to go in March. I have been monitoring the weather in several cities\, as well as the level of aurora activity. Get in touch if you’re interested – I’ll make plans depending on how many folks get in touch.  Marianne Hill  hillmarros@aol.com \n

SUMMARY:White Mountain Hike\, TBD
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone… my first MOAC post in many years!  I’m hoping to hike on Saturday despite cloudy weather (and very sorry to conflict with Winterfest)… thinking of either Mts. Pierce and Jackson in Crawford Notch\, or Mt. Chocorua via Champney Falls\, but am open to other suggestions in the 3500-4500′ range.  Would strongly suggest recent winter hiking experience and appropriate winter gear.  Brisk-ish pace; I’m usually about 3/4 book time or a little less.   Please email me if interested… thanks! \nRuby

SUMMARY:Winterfest Outing - Bike via back roads to Babb's Covered Bridge / walk The Mountain Division Trail
DESCRIPTION:This is an outing during “Winter”fest. Looks like we won’t be having a storm before Winterfest\, in lieu of snow shoeing and skiing\, we have a bike trip planned to Babb’s Covered Bridge (2.4 miles away from the farm) so bring a bike! If a group would rather walk a portion of The Mountain Division Trail\, the trail is still icy (proof that\, yes\, we did have winter!). Please bring spikes if you take that route.

DESCRIPTION:Carlie Casey of Bethel to Present on Nearly 1\,000 Miles of Nordic Skiing in Norway\nIn mid-February 2023\, Carlie Casey and Ann Speth of Bethel\, Maine flew to Norway with the intention of cross-country skiing as far north as possible before the melting snow would put an end to their skiing adventure. Skiing the entire length of Norway had been a dream of Carlie’s after several weeks-long trips in prior years. As it turns out\, starting in the south and skiing in one continuous path northward\, using marked routes connecting Norway’s backcountry huts\, was not as straightforward as maps and websites suggested. \nJoin Carlie as he shares breathtaking slides of the “birthplace” of Nordic skiing\, describes problem-solving on such a trip\, and opens his pack to reveal what they both learned about the gear best suited to hut-to-hut skiing. Carlie will share his experience with the different qualities of Nordic skis and gear. \nCarlie is a credentialed Technical Director (TD) by the Federation of International Skiing (FIS) and the US Ski and Snowboard Association (USSSA). He was a long-time West Coast TD before moving back East to join his late wife\, near their hometown. As a FIS TD he has been around the world working ski races and helps the local Chisholm Ski Club at Black Mountain of Maine\, he is also a key cog in the Bethel Trails program. You can find him in the X-C Ski stadium helping with set and design or on the trail making sure the rules are followed in multiple international races held in the U.S. \nNot only an avid Nordic skier\, Carlie has accomplished both long-distance biking and hiking goals\, including the Appalachian Trail more than once. \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:Ossippee River Class 2 Whitewater trip
DESCRIPTION:I have lead this trip annually since I joined MOAC in 1998. Will try it again on April 20th. 7 miles of Class 2 whitewater. Not a show and go trip. To join you need to contact me to discuss experience and what gear you are planning to use. This includes appropriate clothing for the occasional unplanned swim because at this part of the year the water is cold. For those interested and contact me I will provide details for where to meet and the time to meet. Plan to stop along the river for lunch. Also this is not a raft trip. We use either canoes or whitewater kayaks ( P.S. your fiberglass sea kayak would not be a good choice) Anyway give me a call. Trip is also weather dependent. Not going to reenact a previous trip where some of us became members of the “Not So Bright Bunch club”. I am hoping for a day with no rain and hopefully relatively warm. ( as I age\, it is no longer as much fun running the river when it is barely above freezing or in a rainstorm….) Not going to replay Trip is also being offer through the Penobscot\, Paddle and Chowder Society (PPCS) … Hopefully we can have another good day on the river.

SUMMARY:Bug to Barrel.  32 mile Round Trip Bike ride
DESCRIPTION:We’ll meet at Bug Light Park in South Portland at 10 am on Sunday.  We’ll bike the Eastern Trail from there to Barrelled Souls Brewery in Biddeford\, stop for a yummy beer\, and back again.  The ride is about 1/3 on paved bike path\, 1/3rd on roads\, and 1/3rd on gravel.  This is a great chance for people considering the trip from St. Johnsbury to Burlington Vermont in June to see how their bikes do on an assortment of conditions\, and how you do on a longer ride.  Attempts will be made to stick together\, or at the least\, we’ll meet up at Barrelled Souls.  But if people want to split up\, that’s fine too.  Personally\, I aim to be faster than a 10mph pace in the saddle.  I’m no speed demon.  If you don’t feel like you’re heart is pumping below 15\, I’ll see you at the Brewery! \nBarrelled Souls is my personal favorite brewery in Maine\, they specialize in really big beers\, like 14 to 15%\, and also sours.  They’ve got a few basic beers if your tastes don’t extend to the big and sour.  Feel free to email at patrickjamescoon@gmail.com with any questions. \n

SUMMARY:ACADIA CAMPING\, BIKING\, AND HIKING
DESCRIPTION:Seawall is now full for the weekend.  If interested in going to Acadia\, please check Bass Harbor Campground which is nearby. \n  \nFor many years\, it has been a MOAC tradition to go to Bar Harbor Campground for Memorial Weekend.  Unfortunately\, the campground has been sold to a large corporation and is no longer a “first come\, first serve” facility.  I am finding the price points too expensive for me to want to make a reservation. \nI have booked a site at Seawall Campground which is part of Acadia National Park.  Reservations can only be made 2 months in advance so Memorial Weekend has just opened up and is filling up very quickly.  As of 3:30PM \, 3/28\, there are 22 campsites still left.  Most are in Loop C.  If interested\, you must act NOW!!!  Cost is $30 per night with a 50% discount for anyone having a National Park Lifetime Senior Pass.  Go to: www.recreation.gov to make reservations.  Also\, you can cancel two days in advance for a $10 cancellation fee if the weather does not cooperate.

SUMMARY:Mansell Mountain–Southwest Harbor
DESCRIPTION:This is a loop hike to Mansell Mountain\, using the following trails–Perpendicular\, Mansell\, and Cold Brook.  Distance is 2.4 miles\, elevation gain is 870 feet\, book time 2 hours and 20 minutes.  The Perpendicular Trail is an interesting trail with 1\,000 stone steps\, several iron rungs\, and one iron ladder.  It is referred to as the “stairway to heaven”.  The trailhead is at the Long Pond pumping station.  Directions are:  Follow Seal Cove Road in Southwest Harbor.   At .6 mile\, take the first right onto Long Pond Road and follow until the end.  I am not sure if a park pass is required but I would make the assumption that it is.

SUMMARY:Hike/bike Acadia adventure
DESCRIPTION:This has been a traditional MOAC adventure for many years\, (thanks to Jim Lennox).  We will meet at the end of Duck Brook Road in Bar Harbor at 9AM sharp and bike the carriage trails with a couple of small hikes thrown in.  Bike for a bit\, then hike Conners Nubble\, a short but fairly steep .1 mile with a great view of Eagle Lake.  Back onto the bikes and head for the challenging Around the Mountain trail.  Stop and hike Parkman Mountain\, 1 mile round trip.  Back onto the bikes\, next stop will be Jordan Pond.  If we are feeling extremely ambitious\, we might do Day Mountain\, another 1 mile round trip.  Total biking miles are 18 to 20 miles.  Road bikes are not acceptable on the carriage paths\, helmets are mandatory.  Assume this is a full day but if folks want to start with us and create their own route\, that is entirely acceptable.  Park pass is required to park on Duck Brook Road.  Bring lunch and plenty of water although water bottles can be refilled at Jordan Pond.

SUMMARY:Eastern Trail Ride.  40 Miles Scarborough to Kennybunk
DESCRIPTION:Starting from the top of the eastern trail\, off of Black Point Road in Scarborough at 10:00 this Saturday  We’ll go to the end of the trail section of the Eastern Trail in Kennybunk\, and back again.  There isn’t a trail through Biddeford\, so we can go one way down and another way back to break it up a bit.  The whole ride is just shy of 40 miles\, mostly flat\, and probably more than half on gravel\, some through Biddeford\, and some of that not the nicest biking\, but it gets nice again soon.\n\nAim to meet at 10AM on Saturday.  Feel free to turn around sooner if that’s too long a ride.  We can stop somewhere along the way for a beer and lunch.  Very Civilized.  Biddeford has a ton to offer these days too.  The whole thing will take about 5 hours. Text me at 207 323.1805 if you’re planning on coming.\n  \nHere is the ride. \nhttps://www.google.com/maps/dir/Eastern+Trail+Scarborough\,+Scarborough\,+ME/43.4132286\,-70.5677192/Eastern+Trail+Scarborough\,+Scarborough\,+ME/@43.4952345\,-70.5423517\,20577m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m15!4m14!1m5!1m1!1s0x4cb299ccc2601687:0x8394b8bbbfa60a7e!2m2!1d-70.3384599!2d43.581583!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x4cb299ccc2601687:0x8394b8bbbfa60a7e!2m2!1d-70.3384599!2d43.581583!3e1!5m1!1e3?entry=ttu
