You did not factor in her age. Ask someone who works in elderly care about how this could happen. We'll all be there one day.

Neat technology but not a camping gamechanger in my book. Perhaps I do not understand what the camping game is. :-)

I got the impression this was a backcountry skier.

That was essentially my question :-) only you were able to write it down better :-)

Considering the crappy winter we had - what are your estimates we will be ice free on the summits (sans mtw)

I'm kind of with you on this but only kind of. Sort of. I can sympathize. However my old age observance is that the odds of properties in private hands staying available to the public are slim. The old way of lumber companies ownership are over. The new ways are some stupid golf courses or...

Plum Creek took away that shoreline from us, and private interests plundered lumber over and over until we had virtualy no mature forest left in Maine. Roxanne might have purchased it but a NPS will protect it forever.

it's good to see they are adjusting along the way. I hope they end up reserving those woods away from private interests.

I'm heading to the North Gate of BSP. Might squeeze last weekend of skiing out of it or will bring a fat bike.

A ski helmet in cold weather is not a bad idea. I use it for bicycle commuting or winter fatbiking - it completely blocks the wind and had a soft warm fabric insert that goes over your ears and parts of your 'sideburns'. For the Presi it might be the perfect had to block the wind, the sound of...

Bring Ice Skates... :-) two pics that were sent to me today: Microspikes might not be enough.

Of course they are. Service vehicles will get in there - that should be logical.

Based on what I know about how the land is accessed I believe the only restriction was motorized access. The access is pretty easy. There are logging roads but, for example, when I was there in winter, snowmobiles are not allowed on the roads and rightfully so because the entire road is groomed...

Hi Peakbagger, Driving: I would say it's about 5 hours driving from Portland, Maine. The entrance is very close to the North Gate of Baxter State Park. Cabins: I don't have any real facts but I did hear that this land before it was purchased by Roxanne Quimby was owned by the Paper Company...

We went back to last weekend. This time we wanted to ski the trail to the farthest hut in their system. The hut name was Big Spring Brook Hut. It was approximately 11 easy ski touring miles from the parking lot. The snow was fantastic (compared to our Southern Maine conditions), the hut was...

2 weeks ago I drove from Windham Maine to Rockwood Maine via Jackman and then back via Greenville

so, MHobbs - what decision have you arrived at? :-)

On a cold gloomy winter stormy day it's quite depressing ;-) Nice shelter and the tent spots aren't too bad either.

I tested a pair of Tubbs with Boa binding today. I loved it. One button micro adjustment for the front and rear strap. Pretty cool. :-)

how many lumens does it have? :o)
