I've already sent a letter to Ms. Spencer-Famous and hope to attend one of the hearings. If a group is attending let me know and I'll try to be there on that night. I'm not much of a public speaker but I will come with written opposition.

You took some really nice pictures... Great trip report! The Traveler is comprised of Rhyolite which is a volcanic rock. There are places on the mountain where you can see clear columnar jointing... a sure sign of volcanism. I believe the theory is that the rocks comprising the Traveler...

Good question... I've often wondered what it's like in the Klondike. My guess is that it is seldom visited but that someone on this board has been in there.

Thanks! :)

JohnL: No need to go to that much trouble... especially since skiguy just posted a pic for me. Thanks for the offer though! skiguy: Thanks for posting the pic. That slide looks like fun!

Anyone have any pics of the Marston Slide on N. Brother? I often hear people talk about it and am curious what it loks like.

I guess I just have trouble viewing the industrialization of western Maine as doing good. As was said earlier, lets put them closer to the people... Me too.

All you mention above, with the exception of a military base, exist in the WMNF... Would you support towers on a high ridgeline there? I fail to see how any of the above justify tearing up Redington. Again, just my opinion... :)

If the towers are built do you think an equivalent amount of conventional electricty production will cease? It won't... West Virginia mining will proceed as scheduled, coal will be burned in Cincinnati, and a wild place in Maine will be destroyed. This is a matter of location... the wrong...

It's my understanding the the State of New York burned the remains of the Catskill Mountain House... is this correct? As impressive as a 1,000 room hotel made of WOOD sounds, the scale of it is small compared to the scale of thirty 400 foot high STEEL towers.

Marty, When I was on Bemis back in April I remember seeing a few logging roads and wondered where they went. There was a road that looked like it ran along the shore of Mooselookmeguntic Lake... it looked like it would be a nice walk. Nice report... the Rangeley area is so nice!

Why does a state that produces 40% more electricity than it uses need to use wind industry to generate more? This will not benefit the state of Maine... it only serves to benefit Endless Energy. And before someone chimes in with the tired quote "...it's not as if this area is pristine..."...

It's pretty wild... Saddleback is a real gem. Glad you had a good day to be out!

I'd be surprised to see much snow on the Hunt Trail at this point in time. To be certain you should call Park HQ at (207)723-5140 and they can probably give you a pretty good idea what various trails are like on the mountain.

I have a picture you can have. I don't have it posted anywhere though. If you PM me with your email address I'd be more than happy to send it to you. edit: whoops, looks like I can send you an email through your profile page. Photo will be sent shortly! edit number 2: Looks like I can't...

Thanks everyone for all the info! :)

Good point about back up options. I've been looking for an excuse to return to Baldpate anyway. Perhaps this will be it! Thanks for the reply and suggestions.

Thinking of hiking Goose Eye on Sunday and was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what the road to the Wright Trailhead is like this time of year. Given the warm temperatures I'd guess it would be mostly free of snow and ice by now. Maybe not? Perhaps it's gated? I saw a recent post...

Very cool link! Thanks for sharing it. :)

I believe it's Curry Street. Coming from Sugarloaf it'll be before the power plant. When I was there in February there was a SMALL Bigelow Range Trail sign on Rt27. The trailhead is probably less than a mile down the road. I was able to drive about half way down the road in February in an...
