    Inappropriate Comments in a Maine Cannister

    The majority of those remote cannisters have an 800 # to the Cannister Appropriations Committee which oversees what may or may not be permitted in a canister.I always call ahead to see what's permitted.This canister may have been out of cell range.

    WODC Outlook, May 2009

    I noticed on the Tr Bandit map the parking spot for Larcom at the orchard near the shack is not marked P for parking.I read 4 trip reports on a Franklinsite with a map showing a blue P for parking at that spot.If I was the landowner and noticed part of my property was labelled as P for parking...

    Snowshoes for Jackson?

    If you bring the shoes you can go for N Jackson as well and follow your snowshoes tracks back to Jackson.That's a nice wack.

    Guyot spring

    Well,if the psycho moose that Rocket 21 thankfully alerted the entire state to avoid, wanders up that high and walks thru the spring I might consider treating the water.

    A trail to Little or Big Coolidge?

    I've been in that pollard brook drainage but only at its most upper reaches where you begin to climb BC. Didn't see any evidence of an old log rd but there's not too many old trees up there so it must have been logged at one time.I noticed the WMNF line runs up on the west side of Pollard Br on...
