The date is set for April 23rd, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm . Please post your intentions to attend and watch this event. Updates will be made when needed. We have the cabin booked for the whole weekend and hopefully our geocaching friends can join us for a couple of nights. Yes, you are invited!
This is an annual event! Fourteen years running!
There is a ski lodge (warming hut) with a wood stove, and tables. Outside there is a vault toilet, and tables. At this point, we will be setting up outside and will have hot chocolate, coffee, tea, and I'll have the charcoal grills ready for grilling. There are caches in the area, and some great hiking or biking.
From the main campground on US Route 1, the cabin is about 2 miles along a snowmobile/multi-use trail. There is plenty of parking. After parking your car, hike or bike straight through the camping area until you see a multiuse trail on the left. The trail will immediately fork, the left fork goes up to Mt. Megunticook, stay to the right to get to the cabin. The trail will climb sharply the first 3/4 mile and pass a water tank and then is somewhat flat. Bikes are allowed and the trail right to the cabin is a multi use trail. Terrain is rated 4, based on spring conditions. It's a gradual climb (a bit steeper at the beginning). If you have any questions about the difficulty, what to bring or how to prepare, let me know.
Cell phone reception is weak, but you only need to walk a tenth of a mile to get some bars. It's a good idea to give me an approximate time that you will be arriving.
For the more adventurous, It's a 2.8 mile hike in from the road at Steven's Corner. . There is a large parking lot there. It's mostly uphill, but gradual, with some ups and downs.
