I'm a map freak, always have been always will be. I'm somewhat a novice with a compass but I'm learning. So far I am using the GPS only to check my elevation. I haven't bought the map software and from what I've read on this site I probably won't. I experimented with entering coordinates from...

I drove up 27 today to the Beaudry Road. No snow until the Eustis store and then lots of it all the way to Beaudry. I'd say 4-5" by 10 AM. No way I was going up Beaudry in my 2WD so I went back and skiied in to Stratton Brook Pond. No snow there until after 12 when I left. Then it was snowing...

Kibby Mountain ( the main peak, 3654' I think ) is beautiful in winter. X-C skiiable at least 90% of the way up. Flat beginning thru a Christmas tree forest. Very nice. Road should be plowed due to logging in the area. Platform with nice views on top.

2005, the year I was permanently infected with the peak bagging bug! All Maine 3K's: Redington Coburn Snow (Chain of Ponds) Big Spencer Kibby Mtn. (the one with the platform on top, how many peaks named Kibby are there anyway?) Boundary Bald Big Jackson The Horns-North Peak Snow (Cupsuptic) Mt...

As of today 1/2. The Caribou Valley Road was plowed at the beginning and it looked well traveled at least as far as I could see. Also judging by the voliminus amount of full logging trucks going south on Rt. 27 you could guess that Tim Pond and Beaudry Roads are probably plowed. I wouldn't be...

I appreciate helpful info but in a general way. Not everyone that bushwhacks will take the exact same route. On some peaks the route might be obvious but on others there will be different routes. Cupsuptic Snow is a good example of that. I am slowly working on the 3k's in Maine. I know there are...

Thanks for the info.

We rescued Sadie from the animal shelter almost 8 years ago. She is best described as a Mixed-Up Black and White fur ball with some Springer maybe some Beagle and some other breeds mixed in. She looks a little like the sheep dog in the movie Babe. She is always eager to hike with me. In fact all...

Largest moose I've seen on a trail was on the ATLT about 5 miles north of the MA border. Otherwise I watched a Cow feeding in Daicey Pond BSP for a few minutes and had a moose walk by my campsite on the Piscatiquis River West Branch at 7PM and again at 7AM the next morning. (His normal commuting...

I drive a Mitsubishi Lancer and I have climbed all 3 of these this summer. Coburn 6/5/05 This was the worst one. Major washouts almost immediately after bearing right (almost straight) from main road. I chickened out and walked it. After 3 or 4 really bad washouts the road was fine all the way...
