I have made reservations for a group campsite (Foster Field) in Maine's Baxter State Park for Thursday July 22 through Monday July 26. The campsite holds up to 12 campers. I have 6 spaces left. Join me for four nights of car camping and three days of hiking, swimming, canoeing, moose-viewing and mosquito-swatting. The cost is $28 per camper and $14 per vehicle.
Organization will be fairly informal. I expect we will usually divide up into one or two groups, but everyone is free to pursue his own particular objectives. A moderate level of fitness, hiking experience, and self-sufficiency is presumed; self-screen.
Three hiking days gives us a good shot at getting at least one day of weather decent enough to attempt Baxter peak (and maybe the Knife Edge). There are lots of other good hikes near the campsite including Doubletop, OJI, North and South Brother, and the Owl. For a change of pace there are Kidney and Daicy Ponds for swimming and canoeing.
A poopsheet will be sent to all participants a week or so before the hike including the chance to tentshare, carpool or foodpool.
Let me know if you're interested by emailing me: bobkittredge at gmail.com.
