OK, How many know what sitreps and spot reports are? Me, Johnny Quest, Woodsy, Lone Wolf. who else?
Johnny, Maine is tough, the weather makes it tougher. Contact Boarstone here, she's a great source of info and does re-supply drops in the 100 mile.

OK, I'll throw up a detailed 7 day forecast for the millinocket area
It's been raining most every day for the last 3 weeks so I haven't been out preferring to hike in decent weather giving the choice.
Rivers and streams in most of Maine, especially the western mountains continue to run higher than normal for this time of year. Expect lots of muddy trail. FWIW.

Reminds me of the weather when I was up there last year. Didn't carry more than a liter or 2 of water for the whole state.
Gotta love it
You have another two weeks. Keep the faith. It has only been clammy since...
The jet stream could change, the weather pattern change, the rivers drain off.

Click on the dots. NH & VT are also involved in the ark design contest.
Carrabassett River, among others in western Maine really shot up overnightOriginally Posted by mudhead
Some hikers could be holed up out there.
Speaking of arks, have a pile of lumber, thinking about putting one together.

wonder how this is affecting that speed racer guy?

Read in the paper some canoes floated off. Not sure if they were on the front lawn, or people on a trip. Embarassing either way.
Picture of the Carrabassett in sassy mode would be cool. If you are out joyriding.
i hope sassy mode has subsided before the 18th. if not, oh well. suck it up.

If it is still sassy when you get there, I will be in the midst of moving. Oregon is a very cool place, but three weeks of rain/drizzle is uncool. Oh. Wait.
I have the OPREP binder here somewhere...
Granted I am a new one around here, but I finished reading the day's message traffic just before I started lunch (and thus time to surf this direction). Saw the title and did a double take to be sure I wasn't looking at something actually work related. It's not nice to do that to those of us still tangling with the bloody things.
not only will you still pepper your speech with military jargon after you've left the service, wait till the first time you go off in front of civilians. they just are amazed at the military man's ability to cuss.
