    Because it's cold and shitty outside, and @Nimble9 made me think of it again, lets have a thread to plan this trip.

    https://www.untamedmainer.com/how-t...-branch-railroad-in-the-northern-maine-woods/

    It's north of BumbleCousinFuckNoWhere Maine.


    Day 1: Transit to VT, Camping.
    Day 2: B52 Crash site for lunch, then on to the woods We'll be dodging heavy logging trucks who drive 70+MPH on the dirt. Camp at an un-improved camp site in the Great Maine Woods
    Day 3: More dirt roads and trains. Camp at another un-improved campsite in the great Maine woods
    Day 4: Head south, RTB.

    Menu and logistics:

    Operation: Operation You're On You're Own (YOYO). This is not a catered trip!

    I have neither time or energy to coordinate a combined menu. Plan on bringing enough food and water for 5 days (3 days of planed menu and 2 days of emergency rations).

    If someone else wants to coordinate something that's cool too.

    We had a good time doing that trip a few years ago. Next time I’m thinking on camping out in Baxter. We went for a little ride in the park last time and I’d like to see more
