Thanks to all the recent activity on East Kennebago, we had a pretty easy day navigation-wise. The new and drifted snow made us work for this but without the hassle of plotting a route, we were able to enjoy a fairly vigorous (but relaxing!) day in the wilds of Lang TWP. I deposited the team at...

Kurt, we'll look for those poles on Sunday when we head into East Kennebago. Myself I tend to lose sunglasses. Life expectancy is < 6 months. I subsequently do not buy pairs that cost more than 10 bucks. But I am ahead in that give and take by about 8-5. Hats. Esp. Peruvian-style fleece...

Hey albee...N. Jackson was a very cool peak. Found two dead moose on my way and a large antler. Hoping to be able to join you on North Moat. See ya 'round!

there is hope Thanks for thinking of me Carl! This latest storm did not bring as much snow down my way as predicted. I see Eustis received 14" or so. I'm secretly hoping that there will be a trace of yours and Kurt's route left come Sunday.

Good show, man! alas, whatever tracks you made will be long gone by tomorrow night I suspect. but then again, it is supposed to be a 'whack and so I never really count on following another's footsteps. Cheers!

Rats! Dang it, man! I'll have to pass on that offer Kurt. I certainly would enjoy another opportunity to get out with you soon though, so will take a rain check. Nice trunk btw! Have my twins down this weekend. Alas, the hiking bug has yet to settle in with my teenage girls. Pretty much...

Hi folks, has anyone been up in the Rangley - Stratton area lately? Considering an East Kennebago jaunt next Sunday. Sometimes the road she be open. Sometimes she be closed. Haven't seen any chatter about that peak here in the forums. Can I get a witness?

...the 10 O'Clock Club made a last minute change of plans and opted for the breakfast at Welsh's then a plan B to Mt Crescent. :o Knew that last 100 yards on the Goose was going to be a bear. Just could not muster the moxie. Met some of yours and Neighbor's friends from the RMC on the way...

alrighty then! Thanks for posting the beta on Success Pond Rd Michelle. We'll probably see you folks somewhere along the way. Can't guarantee we'll be there to help break trail ;) but will certainly try. Cheers! -michael (on behalf of the Ten O'Clock Club)

Close enough perhaps? Hey Onestep! (and all you other VFTTers) Long time, no see... I just spoke with a guy from Seven Islands and he said that they are plowing Morton Cut-off/Lincoln/Portage Brook rds to a point just west of Bull Mt. I mentioned some friends were looking for a Cupsuptic Mtn...

Happy anniversary! I'm a sucker for those 'Hiker Meets Soul Mate in Brewpub' stories. ;) I'm envious of those of you that have found each other out on the trails as well. I keep telling myself that day will soon come for me. too. :rolleyes: **warning! Thread hijack in progress!** I...

nice! As we head back on Sunday, the views of the Katahdin massif from the Golden Rd were outstanding. We all longed to be up there that day. What a day indeed! We were in the park this last weekend-ish and never saw a ranger. Not sure what he/she would have said had we told them our party...

there was no indication of trail use heading to South Brother. But the snowpack was pretty firm and you wouldn't have noticed. I certainly found the walking easy as I breezed past the Coe Trail Junction and headed to South Brother! We found no other evidence of any parties using the Marston...

February 21-24 'Sowdy Field BSP. Day 1 - a quick 3 hour jaunt in on the well packed Williams Pond Rd. Clear skies and little breeze. Great views of North Brother and other peaks of the Cross Range on our approach. We followed snowshoe tracks to just about the Williams Pond area and then they...

Well its that time of year again and the croo (Hans, AndyW, Hawk and I) are headed back to 'Sowdy Field for a few nights (Feb 21-24) of winter adventure. The plan is to go for Fort Mountain - again and though there looks to be a goodly amount of snow in the forecast 'tween now and then, we're...

Trails: Big Rock Cave/Old Paugus/Lawrence/Cabin. Dry at the time, a light dusting of snow here and there, a little more in the woods on the way to the summit. Found: Cinderella's small left foot Stabilicer literally just off the summit a few hundred feet along the Lawrence Trail. PM me or...

Don't take it personal that bird also took a couple of runs at me and my hiking companion on 6/24! it came in talons first as if to do a 'touch and go' on my face veering off about 10 feet ahead of me. kinda funny actually...it did not bother us on the way out.

I want in! Too good to be true perhaps? So close... I am thinking that I can make this one...hmm...the ex wife has a camp on Whitney Pond...as long as the band(s) refrain from singing Patsy Cline I should be able to hold it together.... I'll bring my ax ...err...guitar, just in case someone...

Support your right to arm bears!! Glad you changed the date! I will make an effort to get down there and swill some malted beverages with you folks. Would like to meet some of the So. Maine crowd. Ay-yuh!!

You boys put in a great effort. Unfortunately I was unable to make the trip due to last minute scheduling conflicts. :rolleyes: Really wish I too could have tested my rain gear, snowshoes and especially my off-road Escort driving skills against the power of Beaudry. The conditions appeared...
