NE area wheeling trip plans

Just to let you know that it is not a parking lot meet. This is a full blown event and we are actually trying to get a wheeling event for the following day to make it an full event weekend. Check out the last one as a reference and this one is planning on being bigger and better:

Hey man I'm not throwing shade. But right now there is no wheeling and no exploration and for that I'm out.

 

Understandable....I will keep you update with what we have planned for wheeling...

 

Anyone up for a quick overnight winter camping trip up to the NMW this weekend? Long term weather forecast looks decent. Probably single digit temps overnight so all winter gear etc required. No real plan, just go up there and explore. See what roads are open and what aren't, find a wide turnout to make camp then head back down Sunday.

Could be lots of new snow Thursday night. Have fun!

 

I might be up for it if I get my tent heater working it would be a good excuse to try it out.

 

Would but I’m in NY this weekend for work

 

Thats the main reason Im going, to test this contraption haha

 

OK, I give up,
What is that contraption?

It looks Cool whatever it is.

 

A diesel fired heater. Used in marine and long haul truck applications mostly. Featuring my very much jerry rigged test setup haha

 

having a small foot surgery done friday and im suppose to be off it all saturday :/ or else i would say im in.

 

Wish I could make it.

 

My heater is 30 year old rv furnace. I might end up going in the direction you went but the challenge of working with the junk in the garage is part of the fun.

 

That’s cool!!

I could make it up saturday night- Sunday afternoon, if you let me know what campsite you'll likely be at..

little short notice for me to make it out there.. rtt isnt on the truck atm.. have to get it dug out of the basement. work is being a PITA as far as getting time off due to short staffing (http://legislature.maine.gov/legis/bills/display_ps.asp?LD=1941&snum=129). I may but I doubt it, MAY be able to get out a bit early, but it is still about a 3 hour drive (minimum) to the nearest checkpoint. earliest I could be there to say 20 mile checkpoint would be around 7PM IF i get relieved early. 8pm for the caribou checkpoint.

Let me know what your plans are, always up for an adventure.. even a short 2 day one. I'd be willing to stay up there saturday (arriving late) night-Tuesday at some point. especially if we go to a known site.. such as round pond, baker lake, etc... I know I can make it from 20 mile or caribou checkpoint to Baker lake campsite on the main roads in about an hour or so..

let me know COMMS, and times you plan, and I'll see what I can do for scheduling here on my end.

 

Unfortunately its just about impossible to plan a winter camping spot ahead of time. It all depends on snow conditions. Ive tried before and every single time Ive had to find an alternate because I couldnt make it to the primary. Usually just end up at a wide spot on the road

This trip might not be worth it for you either, if you wouldnt be getting there until late at night.. Im sure Ill be up there again at least a few more times this winter before all the snow is gone. I can keep you in the loop about that

 

A late saturday night/head into NMW, and stay to Monday would be great for me, and i plan to do something like this sooner than later. so if you can swing a monday some week, let me know.

 

Ill keep that in mind. Hopefully Ill be slowing up at work here in the next few weeks / month..

 

I'll be down when I get this heater running, it's brand new in the box in my livingroom. I still don't know why my elocker isn't working - but I shouldn't need it.
