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.

SUMMARY:HAPPY HOUR
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE : MANAGEMENT AT THIS VENUE HAS REQUESTED (STRONGLY) THAT WE COMMENCE THE HAPPY HOUR HERE AT 5:OOPM AND VACATE THE TABLE BY 7:00PM. IT’S GETTING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND PLACES OF THIS CHARACTER THAT WANT OUR BUSINESS CHIEFLY BECAUSE WE DO SEPARATE CHECKS AND WE DON”T TYPICALLY ORDER FOOD. THEIR REQUEST IS ALL ABOUT HOLDING ON TO THEIR WAIT STAFF IN THE POST-PANDEMIC ENVIRONMENT. \nINCIDENTALLY\, THEY SERVE A GREAT BOWL OF BEEF CHILI WITH CHIPS FOR JUST $9.00. \nHAPPY HOUR this Friday will be at the Sea Dog restaurant located in Cabella’s Plaza. We’ll start at 5:00 and end at 7:00.

SUMMARY:Full moon walk on the Fore River White Trail
DESCRIPTION:I recommend BRINGING HILLSOUNDS OR KATOULA Spikes.  After yesterday storm\, I assume the trail is going to be icy and uneven.

We will be starting from the opposite end of what this link shows \nhttps://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/maine/fore-river-sanctuary-white-trail \nRain will cancel.  Check back here for updates. \nPlease RSVP via text or email so I know if anybody is coming. \nAttending: Peggy\, Jean\, Amy\, Hans\, Kitty\, David\, Tove (and dog)\, Stephen\, Sue\, Martha \nSue
