2021 Great North Woods - Fall Date TBD

Rhode Islanders should be fine It's the New Yorkers every one is looking for.

 

My wave plate kinda looks like the lobster plate it's fine and besides, nobody remembers we exist.

 

I guess I’ll see myself out...

 

Hey how is it in NH? I don't really have anyone I still know further north than Manchester anymore.

 

they started doing lines outside walmart here, and sams club... only 100 at a time in the store.. 1 out, 1 in.... so now I am at the mercy of someones browse shopping....

 

They did that at Shaws. I showed up and there was a line. So I left and went to the price rite down the road and there was no line and it took me 4 minutes. Rather than waiting in the cold rain for 20.



One of the perks of being in the "city" I guess. If I was still up in old orchard I'd be in the same boat though.

So this still doesn’t change anything for me yet. Unless this extends into may.

 

Serious question. Does living in the woods count as quarantine? I would guess not since we'd still need to stop for gas if nothing else.

 

No. I mean, maybe. But most towns and governors are starting to tell people to cut the shit and stop looking for loopholes.

the way I see it they’re probably going to ask where you’re going, staying, is it a house or address? If not (a camp site doesn’t count they even mentioned camp site owners could be charged for not following this order). Then you’re probably sol and would probably be told to leave the state and if caught after 24 hours they would charge you. if have to read way more into it.

Anyway as I’ve said though for me it’s really just a straight shot up so it can be day of if it comes down to it.

 

Well this turned into a tad bit of a shit show. I need a bottom line if we are doing this thing

 

They have a family dollar now. And besides, everyone is used to the dam lines from summer dollars, I mean summer tourist

 

yup not looking good, article says they'll look to cancel license, permits, etc for those campgrounds/lodging facilities that violate the "stay at home order" this kinda pisses me off.. I dont have an option to reschedule my vacations..... I took the week before this trip off for one of my 3 vacation weeks specifically. I dont get another option later on, although I'm better off just cancelling my vacation time entirely and working.. and if the trip happens it happens, and I'll go, but wont be able to do some "pre-trip-camping".... I'm pissed off enough that I may just do some backyard camping this weekend.

 

they have radleys and family dollars that took over from A to Z. Radleys isn’t bad but it’s definitely tourist driven they have the vacation staples and a huge alcohol section compared for their size. Most people go to the Saco hannaford. That place must be a nut house right now.

 

I have no kids, took the vacation days, and basically just need to strap down the gas tanks and load up the dog and drive so I’m a game time decision still. I’m easy like that.

 

Yes, I use Saco Hannaford during non summer months. Last time I was in there a few weeks ago, it was like summer.

 

If this gets extended we're definitely canceling the trip. 20+ trucks with out of state plates will draw too much heat.

 

Exactly my thought lol, we all gonna get pulled over and have to split off into the woods hah

 

like high school all over again!

I suspect end of April this will start to lift a bit but we’ll see. If I’m welcomed in mass, nh, and Maine I can get there.

 

FYI - No impact as of yet, but possibility of extending.

They’re supposed to get about a foot or more of snow up there this weekend too.
