May 24 to 28: Great North Woods of Maine Train Spotting Trip 2K19

I didn't get any

 

I want to play. I love love love driving up there. 45 is a decent average, till you hit one of those ramps they call speed bumps. Landing is rough.

 

@SR-71A is doing a trip in October but no date yet. I'm hoping to make it

 

I was already WAYYY ahead of you all doing 80-ish on 295, made it home in decent time.. just had a few hold ups for parades/services.... some douche in front of me in Winterport got pulled over for revving his engine passing a memorial service... dumbass.. I thought the 5-0 was after me for being like 3mph over the speed limit.. lucky me...

 

We went to the coast for lobster rolls, yumyum
I think I made it home about midnight

 

anyone know a decent place to get tires installed? looking at getting some cooper ST MAXX 255/85/16 on my stock suspension (read multiple threads saying they will fit.. and with my 1.25" spacers they will clear the stock UCA's..) I found I can get 5 of them through my work for under 1200... my prison shop can install them...

just unsure I want inmates working on my pride and joy.. last time they forgot to adjust my rear parking brakes.. I think it was a plot... If I have to I will get a cheap "puck lift" until the Billstein 5150's are in stock again.... From what I've read the 255/85/16's fit prefectly, and only hit the front mud flap ont he 3rd gens.. and I can take care of that with a torch/heatgun....

 

You crack me up man Good videos

 

Yup, wanna do at least a few more trips in the fall. Gotta get some time to plan something out.. Ill make a thread and tag a bunch of people when it comes around

 

I'll be up along the western shore of Moosehead for a couple long weekends in Oct. I'm usually going through the 20 Mile NMW woods gate. If you venture up that way let me know.

Ledbetter and Lane Brook campsites in that area can accomodate large groups.

 

Sig45 Are you going up bird hunting? I plan on taking a full week Oct 5-12th.

 

Yes. I'll be up on the 15th-20th and again on the 29th-3rd Nov. Heading up each time Tuesday after work.

My first time in 20 years with no bird dog. Going to bust the brush on my own.

 

Damn you're going up later then I am.... You're more then welcome join us at the being of Oct if you can swing it.

 

Thanks! I maybe able to swing the 11th and 12th.

 

You're staying in Rockwood area?

 

I haven't worked out the details yet. My buddy has to pull out of the woods on the 11th but I could stay another night or so if the weather is good. Last year we cut the week short because it rained so much, but it was awesome bird hunting the first few days. We shot so many birds we had to cook them up for supper in order to continue hunting.

 

That was a good couple days. I definitely plan to do another trip memorial day 2020.

One more day would have been really nice, a little more exploring and a less brutal ride home. We were on the road 14 hours to get home.

 

When I was up there in August, did some campground scouting and found a few that could work, but they are non reservable.

 

Yeah. It's luck of the draw. Can you send me the coordinates?

 

im in !
