SUMMARY:Street Jam or Random Acts of Violins… Violas\, Guitars….
DESCRIPTION:I’m reposing this due to some confusion about the date.   Weather dependent.  Contact me if interested. \nI’m thinking we meet somewhere on Congress by  MECA and start playing.  I’ve participated in many jams with  MOAC members and we’ve played popular folk\, Americana\, country\, rock tunes.  But it really doesn’t matter what we play and with what.  Bring any skill level and any instrument.  Hide in the middle of the group if you are afraid (safety in numbers).  This could be great or a complete mess\, but I’m sure it will be fun!    I’ve been thinking about this and watching the weather which finally looks better so I figured I needed to post this now!   Details to follow once I hear from interested parties.  Ate Ate 9- Ate 5 1 Ate\, which is a cell phone number written in Kiddspeak.

SUMMARY:Alpine Garden\, rescheduled
DESCRIPTION:This is Kate reposting for Eileen’s Alpine Garden hike. This hike is weather dependent\, already postponed from May 31.   Eileen can’t go Tuesday\, so I am organizing those interested in this date\, Tuesday June 9. Yes I know it is election day; I voted already… It is the best weather this week. Temps are supposed to be mid-50s with lower winds than last 10 days or this coming Saturday and some sun. \nThis is an intermediate hike of 3.5 miles out and back across rocks above tree line.  You are required to STAY on the marked trail.  The terrain is fragile.  It will be 2+ hours of hiking or more depending on photos and enjoying the views.\n\n Weather on Washington  Here is Mountain-Weather link.\n\nSturdy boots\, wind/rain gear\, warm layers\, hat\, water\, food\, etc. are required.  Hiking poles are a good idea.\n\nLet me know if you want to carpool: I can drive or hitch a ride. I live on the East End in Portland.  Cost is $36 per person in a vehicle to drive six+ miles up the Auto Road to the trailhead.

SUMMARY:Try Again - Climb Mt Eisenhower via Edmands Path
DESCRIPTION:We’ll go up Mt Eisenhower via Edmands Path since Mt. Clinton Rd is now *really* open for the season (it wasn’t when I last posted this and we climbed Pierce instead.) Hike is 6.6 miles round trip\, 2\,750′ elevation gain – a challenging hike. Bring plenty of water\, lunch and warm layers for the top including a hat\, gloves and rain shell. The summit elevation is almost 5\,000′ so it can be cold and windy up there. Please have recent experience on similar hikes – this is not a trip for beginners. RSVP for meeting places and times (we’re not leaving at 6 am)\, and to arrange car pooling. We may go out for refreshments afterwards\, and this trip is subject to change based on weather. If we haven’t hiked together before\, please call me at 207-380-6008 to discuss your experience.

SUMMARY:Rangeley\, ME
DESCRIPTION:Fellow MOAC’ers!! \nIt was a long winter and the arrival of spring was most welcome.  It is hard to believe we are sliding in to June!  Given that Dave and I are hosting Rangeley it is time to post some trip details.\n\nA massive THANK YOU to the moac members whos staffed the phone to secure a reservation.  Rangeley State Park group camp site\, west side and water front – sweet!\n\nThe weekend begins the evening of Friday August 7th and carries into Sunday morning the 9th.  The weekend is open to 15 to 20 campers and outdoor adventurers.  The cost is $25 per person for both nights\, firewood is included.  Apologies in advance\, there are no refunds and no pro-rating.\n\nThe last time we hosted we stayed on the east end and we were well attended – so much so that on Saturday evening tents were in the walkways.  While we’ve never stayed on the west end\, we did check it and it is super sweet.  The sites are spacious and can easily accommodate double occupancy of single tents.  We are not allowed to camp on the beach.  The sites are 150+ paces in from the parking so don’t forget your buggies to make lugging gear easier.  Privies are on site and appropriately set a short distance from where we camp.   A short walk or drive to the campground area and you’ll find flush toilets and hot showers.\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.\n\nOn Saturday I will lead a hike from route 17\, height of land\, to route 4 along the AT.  Highlights include Bates Ledge\, Sabbath Day Pond and Little Swift River Pond.   This is 13.2 miles of moderate to strenuous foot stomping joy.  It is moderate for elevation and strenuous for distance.   To ensure we complete the day on time we will need to spot a car on Friday evening.  Interested parties for this trekking endeavor should email me under separate cover to express interest and commit to car spotting (rlaverdure2016@gmail.com).  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.  In the event we have no takers\, Dave and I may ask someone for a ride to spot a car and start our hike.  You can learn a little more about the intended hike here:  https://www.rangeley-maine.com/attractions/rangeley-hiking-trails/appalachian-trail/#google_vignette\n\nBiking\, 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 and relaxing on the beach is just as much an adventure.\n\nHosting is not new for us but your good humor\, flexibility and a willingness to pitch in makes the weekend a success.  David and I failed at serving morning coffee last time so you will be on your own for breakfast.  We will host a potluck dinner on Saturday and we will provide the proteins – turkey burgers and seasoned sausages.  Fresh greens\, pasta salad and fresh cut vegetables will round out the meal.  We’ll need folks to supplement with the side dishes and desert.  I will circulate a food sign up list to avoid over 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 and Saturday.  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 31st.  We’ve heard of this thing called Venmo but sadly\, we only accept checks.\n\nCheers\,\nDave and Rob

SUMMARY:Dark Skies Seniors Getaway at AMC Medawisla Lodge and Cabins
DESCRIPTION:As MOAC members\, we are inviting you to join us for a 3 nights getaway in the middle of Maine at AMC’s Medawisla Lodge and Cabins in the Maine Woods Initiative area geared to seniors but open to all. We have timed our stay to take advantage of dark skies to enjoy a sky full of stars without having to stay up late. Bring a lawn chair and sit by the lake for a full view of the sky. Whether you enjoy easier trails in the woods\, climbing mountains\, off road biking or paddling\, you can find something to do here. However\, you can just enjoy sitting on the porch at the lodge or down at the lake. Bring your own kayak\, paddle board or canoe or use one available there. There are also 2 other ponds to enjoy by canoe down the road. There is off road and trail biking available. Hiking opportunities vary from mostly flat to mountains. Please be sure to bring your equipment and carry the essentials. There is no phone service on most trails in the area. \nYou must use the link below to register for this getaway.\nhttps://activities.outdoors.org/s/oc-activity/a5UVX0000014TsT2AU/act00019975 \nMore info on the AMC website (link above).
