The Weekend is Here! Who's Ready?
The weekend is here, who's ready? Any big hikes, backpacking trips or travel plans for the weekend? My family and I are going to the lake for the weekend!
Going to Acadia for part of it. Not sure which hills I will walk. Just getting the maps out now. But yes.... I am ready for a long weekend.

BirdBrain- the Beehive trail at Acadia is so much fun and the views at the top are stunning! I highly recommend it!!
Freeze warnings in the Whites tonight with a slight chance of snow at some point overnight with 70 degrees later in the weekend. I can look out my window and still see snow field on Mt Adams.
Leaving town just after lunch, headed to northern Virginia to ride the Rollercoaster!!!
Can't wait!
I wish I could, but I hate the traffic and crowds on Memorial day weekend. That is why I am waiting until next weekend to do a hike
Headed out to Camp Creek Bald tomorrow morning and hiking south to Hot Springs - we wont have it to ourselves but it shouldn't be overrun either.

I agree. Been there. I hike in Acadia quite a bit. My favorite is Penobscot and Sargent from Jordon Pond.Originally Posted by hannah.freeman.9250

I like the "quiet side" of MDI and hiking in the mountains around Long Pond. Great views and fewer people. The crowds have started to grow in Bar Harbor. We are headed out to do an overnight in Cutler.
Staying in town, planning a big Memorial Day picnic and a sendoff for our daughter who leaves next weekend for a year overseas. We can hike after that
Great suggestion. Maybe we will do Mansell Bernard loop.I like the "quiet side" of MDI and hiking in the mountains around Long Pond. Great views and fewer people. The crowds have started to grow in Bar Harbor. We are headed out to do an overnight in Cutler.

Rockytop-Big Run loop overnighter in SNP.
Getting lost is a way to find yourself.
Stuck in Chicago without a car... So no hikes for me!
On the bright side, I'm using this weekend as an excuse to test out some Freezer Bag meals for my upcoming week-long section hike of the PCT!
On the menu to be tested: Tuna couscous with shredded coconut, annie's mac and cheese with summer sausage, and freeze-dried blueberry and coconut oatmeal!

Yup, exactly. We'll have a little music jam after dinner and offer some songs and poems appropriate for Memorial Day.
I went Thursday through Saturday for that very reason.
Doing Woody Gap to Springer on part of our vacation this week.
