I've heard of people with wilderness first aid training (whose presence in the park is appreciated for obvious reasons) hitching free rides. That's about it.Quote:

Maybe we just hitch a line to Rog and let him pull us mortals up?Quote:

Yeah Rog! That would be a good time. Just leave that nasty bipolar self POW at home. Seriously, I'm going and you are welcome. I'll stop in the store this weekend to catch up and make a plan.Quote:

And all kidding aside, Rog is more than welcome (as long as Lynchy keeps him on a short leash).
Wait a second, I can't be responsible for that. Especially now that we know there is two of him - at least two personalities!Quote:

skied some more leaves and grass and moss and rocks and sticks... and for good measure there was a little snow mixed in there too. nothing epic, but we had fun. the sun came out too which was nice:

Hmm. Now I'm not so sure. Rules:Quote:

5.8.B. The so called Logan Pond Road along the north shore of Lower Togue Pond;
5.8.C. The spur road between the Park Tote Road and Camp Phoenix; and
5.8.D. The existing trail along the East Branch of the Penobscot River from Second Lake Matagamon to the northern boundary of the Park.
Unauthorized use of snowmobiles in any other portion of the Park is prohibited. Operators of snowmobiles must comply with all requirements of State Law.
The map I posted above labels the road to Roaring Brook "Tote Road." But this one, from the BSP website calls it Roaring Brook Rd.
Edit: Looks like you could use a snowmobile to shorten the approach for a one day (bad ass) ascent up the Abol Slide Trail, but I don't think you can snowmobile on the road to Roaring Brook/ Chimney Pond.

1 plate, 5 screws and 13 stitches (now removed). Yeah boy!
T-minus 24 1/2 hours til I get married and feeling one hell of a lot better than I thought would be possible after my bonehead crash last week.
I'll bet the future Mrs Radam was none too pleased with your timing...glad you're feeling better. Have fun at the wedding!Quote:

interesting. That'd be pretty awesome even just day tripping off Abol slide. A. you could get up and over kinda like skiing via the cog, and b.) There's really good skiing in some years on the Abol slide side of the mtn too. Just needs east winds and snow though kinda like we had in 09-10....Quote:
