There are plenty of already ruined spots out there suitable for wind industry. Redington is certainly not one of them.

Great news! Glad LURC showed some foresight.

I drove all the way to the trailhead on January 13 with a 4wd pickup. There was probably about 2-3 inches of old snow on top of patchy ice. We had no problem but I was in four wheel drive the whole way. I think it snowed that night so conditions may have changed. I don't think I would have...

I like the interactive snow model from NOHRSC. You can zoom and change layers from snow-water equiv, depth, snowpack temp, etc. Kinda' neat. Interactive Snow Model

I suppose I'm one of those "people" you mention... I've seen the wind farms between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. This is a fine example of a PROPER site for wind industry. Seeing wind turbines in an industrial area is a nice thing to see. What I (and others) have a problem with is proposed...

That is a sweet photo! :eek:

My best shot this year... Katahdin Reflected

According to the PPH, Katahdin Lake is part of BSP! http://news.mainetoday.com/updates/008313.html

Here's another happy Precip owner. Keeps me very dry and I've been happy with it in winter conditions as well.

I think that the green area is land recently purchased by Roxanne Quimby... She just reached an agreement with "traditional users" (a debatable term but I digress). Read about it here. edit: Maybe I'm wrong? Where is the recently purchased Quimby land? Do you know Spencer?

Congrats! As others have said, what an amazing accomplishment! Those pictures are so beautiful... I need to spend more time up at Moosehead.

I've been there twice in the last 2 months... I'll just echo this post except that you should be able to drive the entire way down Morgan Road... it ends at a small clearing that is clearly marked Little Jacskon Trail. Hike about 0.3 miles up the trail and there is a newly signed split in the...

Very good to hear!! At the rate you're healing, we'll be able to meet up for Goose Eye in no time. ;)

Yeah, I suspect the Maine numbers should be taken with a grain of salt as the future of many of those acres are uncertain at best.

I assume you are basing this post on the AMC study found here. I thought people might like to see the statistics. Looking at the top 15 roadless areas ranked by size, I see 7 in ME, 6 in NH, and 2 in VT. The total amount of roadless area for each (acres) are 484,300 for ME, 403,500 for NH...

I was just checking out the Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust's website and noticed some info regarding The Maine Mountain Conference, scheduled for October 21, 2006 in Rangeley. This is the first conference in 34 years devoted to the problems and opportunities facing the Mountains of Maine...

I can't think of too many other places I'd rather spend a week in than Carrabassett Valley. Nice report and pictures! If you liked Tumbledown, you should check out nearby Little Jackson. The view OF Tumbledown is spectacular.

This is a perfect example of properly sited wind industry. I wish I could say the same for some of the other sites being proposed. Nice article... I enjoyed reading it.

All good points… I definitely wasn’t trying to indicate that people were picking on BSP or anything like that. I guess I just don’t mind, much like yourself, planning far in advance.

I think the article is trying to link the declines to the internet because this a national trend... it's not just BSP that is seeing a decline. I think sardog1 makes some excellent points. Also, I don't think the reservation system is that tough to figure out. :confused:
