@Odyssey isn't that why we're here?

@gadabyte If you can believe it 'The Maine Forest and Logging Museum' doesn't have one.

@Odyssey Logging museum in Ashland, Patten, and Bradly. Looking for Swing Dingles. Bradley doesn't have one. The boat I think is an oversized Bateau that work out of the Ferry Landing. I don't know anything about it. I was surprised to see it. The price you pay not seeing anyone.

I've been planing a trip to the Allagash for a while and had a window opened that I could go. I packed in a hurry and headed out. (I didn't forget too many things). I drove up on the 10th of Sep and camped at the Umbazooksus Stream West. The Golden Rd was in Terrible shape, but Telos Rd was in...

Wow great pictures. I was up there also 10-13 Sep. I carry a full load of tire repair tools and got lucky with no flats this time.

It's the same thing in other wilderness areas. No permits are needed when hiking in the White Mtns of NH, but if you arrive late to the trailhead you'll find the parking lot full with no on-road parking, and if there is you might have to walk a 1/2 mile to the trailhead.

I going with Maine, BWCA is too crowded, and if you need a large canoe area, Algonquin PP is closer. Maine has a large variety of streams in a Northern forest setting which eliminates paddling in the Southern States
