SUMMARY:Mt. Crawford Hike
DESCRIPTION:This is about a 5 mile hike with about 2\,100 feet elevation gain.  The pace of this hike will be moderate\, and should take about 4 hours counting rest and lunch stops.  The current weather prediction for Monday is for mostly sunny skies with a high in the mid-40s.  We’ll hike as a group.  Maximum group size is 8.  It’s still partly winter in this area\, but based on the most recent trail reports\, we’ll need Microspikes\, but not snowshoes. \nBy reservation only.  Email me (wdbriggs10@gmail.com) to reserve your spot and for more information (including meeting time\, location\, and possible carpooling).  Please\, no texts.  If I haven’t hiked with you before\, let me know your winter hiking experience and your phone number.

SUMMARY:Last of the Right Whales – movie\, documentary — one showing only!
DESCRIPTION:Movie\, tonight\, Wednesday the 27th\, LAST OF THE RIGHT WHALES\, at Nickolodean Theatre\, downtown Portland\, 7:00 pm \nText me 251 if 5491 you’d like to meet up in advance for a quick brew or bite to eat\, or possibly a brew afterwards to discuss the movie. \nI’ll be the person in the lobby wearing a tneck\, fleece\, and raincoat (next to all the others wearing the same thing) on this drippy day. \nDon’t miss this documentary — one showing onlty! \n\n\n\nLast of the Right Whales\nNorth Atlantic right whales are dying faster than they can reproduce.  With just over 330 remaining\, these great whales rarely die of natural causes. Instead they are run over by ships or suffer lethal injuries from fishing gear. If we don’t stop killing them\, in 20 years they could be extinct. \nFrom the only known calving grounds to the shifting feeding grounds\, Last of the Right Whales follows the North Atlantic right whale migration and the people committed to saving a species still struggling to recover from centuries of hunting. Now climate change is forcing right whales further north in search of food\, putting them on a collision course with deadly ships and fishing gear. \nWith unprecedented access to film the whale migration\, Last of the Right Whales brings a message of hope about the most at risk great whale on the planet.

SUMMARY:Easy Backpack to Gentian Pond Shelter
DESCRIPTION:This will be a great chance for those with little backpacking experience to get out and test your gear\, though experienced folks are welcome as well. It will be a relatively short hike with one short steep section to the shelter on Friday\, (depending on the roads\, either about 2 or 3.5miles) and then we’ll day hike Mt Success on Saturday. It might be a bit early to dispense with your traction aids as there WILL be some icy sections on the upper sections of success. For those interested we can go find the DC-3 plane crash near the summit of Success. \nWe can still get some cold weather in early May. I will watch the weather and advise. I am limiting this to 6 people\, myself included. \nABOUT ME:\nI’ve been backpacking for nearly 50 years. I’m one of the original MOAC’ers and moved away to the hinterlands (Farmington) so I haven’t been active recently. \nPlease contact me to let me know your experience and whether you need help with gear. Our meeting place will be in Bethel at the information Center (right near the movie theater). The image is of the outlet at Gentian Pond (It’s one of my paintings)
