We're going to Acadia NP on Victoria Day weekend and are looking for hike suggestions for the return trip (route 9, Maine, eastbound between Bangor and Calais). 2-3 hours round trip would be perfect, but not picky.:). Looking to break up the trip a bit.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/story/2012/05/08/nb-wolf-dna-confirm.html Pure wolf. No coyote or dog DNA in this one. Possibly came across the ice from the Gaspe (Chic-Chocs, maybe).

Picked up a buddy in Amherst, NS then drove to Millinocket where we sampled a refreshment or two at the Blue Ox. Started from Roaring Brook at 6:50 am on Saturday (Helon Taylor trail, 58F), and reached treeline with reasonably good visibility. Next stop was Pamola where visibility had...

I'm thinking of hiking Lafayette (& maybe the ridge) on Tuesday, May 31 2011. If there's anyone thinking of a similar route that day, I'd appreciate the company. I'm basically a little better than book time on a normal day.

I'm thinking of staying at Greenleaf Hut sometime in early August, 2011. I'm planning to hike south to north, stay at the hut at the end of the first day, and then hike down the next morning. Where would be the best/safest place to leave my vehicle?

Be careful out there. The following is from the MWO website: "this will likely be upgraded to a Wind Chill Warning as wind chills cross our 50 below threshold criteria." :eek: This is referring to the upcoming weekend (Jan 21-23, 2011).

I'm planning a couple of days of hikes in the Sugarloaf - Saddleback region (Aug 1 -3). I'll be staying at the Maine Roadhouse if anyone would like to team up.:)

May 29 2010, 12:30PM - 6:15PM. Took Airline up, Valley Way down Airline was mostly dry with a few snow patches near the hut. Valley Way had a fair number of snow patches up high, and a few blowdowns, but no problem getting around them. No special equipment needed, although in the early...

Hit the road (Dartmouth Nova Scotia) in the wee hours of Aug 13. Normal 9-10 hour drive turned into 12 + with construction on route 2. Reached PNVC mid-afternoon and snagged recently vacated, paved parking spot. Began climb & hit light rain within one hour. As I reached Hermit Lake, ranger...

I'm going to be in Woodstock, New Brunswick on Friday nite watching my son play hockey. Next morning (early, very early) I'm planning to make the 2hour plus drive to BSP for a day or two of hiking. If all goes according to plan, I should be at the main gate at around 6AM. I've never been...

I'll be doing a two night hike from Pinkham Notch, staying at Hermit Lake, then Mizpah Aug 13 - 15, 2009. Hope to meet up with some of you. :)

Check this out: http://www.usatoday.com/weather/news/2008-09-09-farmers-almanac_N.htm :D One can only hope.

Tuesday PM in Halifax, decided that forecasts had improved enough to do the 10 hour drive to Pinkham Notch. Left Nova Scotia at 4AM Wednesday arriving around 2PM in Gorham/Berlin where I stocked up at Shaws. Checked forecast and climbed to Hermit Lake where I noticed a familiar face (Brian...

This guy spent 4 days lost in the Cape Breton Highlands. Happy ending, though :D http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/1050871.html It sounds like his technology failed him when he needed it (as is typical) but he was well equipped (sleeping bag, food, water).

Maine Roadhouse I'm heading to Maine for some alpine skiing. Anyone familiar with the Maine Roadhouse for accommodations?

Aug. 28: Arrived at Lowe's store at 4 PM (after 10 hour drive). Provided amusement for proprietor as I purchased supplies and loaded my pack. My climb began at 4:30 (Lowe's Path) with the Log Cabin as my target, and perhaps Grey Knob if I felt able. I reached the Log Cabin at about 6:15 and...

I'm planning to hike the northern presis (Gray Knob overnite, Adams, Madison, I hope) on Aug 29 and or 30. I've only hiked Mount Washington and area before, so if there's anyone interested, lemme know. Cheers, Mac

My son has a soccer camp in Maine from July 29 to August 3. I'm planning several days of hiking in the White Mountains during that time. My only previous experience was two nights (Hermit Lake, then Lake of the Clouds) with my (then) 9 year old son. I've also had the pleasure of staying at...
