Snow fight! ATTENTION ALL MAINE SOUTHERNERS

[firefighterjake]

2200 miles of it!

Yes, still enough snow and if anything positive came from the rain, it harden up the snow and packed it down for better ridding.

Well I'm back and you were right. The trails were great. Rode 336 miles in 1 1/2 days of riding. Arrived around Saturday afternoon in PI . . . spent an hour or so looking for a place to do out-of-state registrations since the Maine website listed four places -- one place was closed for the day, two places no longer did registrations and the final place did do them, but he went out of business. Eventually we found a place that did them. Rode off for dinner at Portage. Returned.

On Sunday we did some exploring. Rode down to Monticello for breakfast at the Blue Moose. Eventually worked our way up through Fort Fairfield and into Caribou before heading south to PI and doing some more local riding.

My only regret . . . my brother-in-law had a long ride home so we didn't get any riding in on Monday morning (today.) That and it was pretty depressing when we were traveling south and the snow cover just kept getting thinner and thinner.

Glad to hear! Glad you had fun too.

What a great time! There is more than enough snow. The Nordic Ski Center is a real "destination" resort for geo-skiers. There are a lot of caches, even a night cache and a letter box. But, bring your snow shoes, some are not ski-able.

Round 2 definately goes to the north, but I still think we won round 1.

P.s., FirefighterJake, I was in 231! and, no I did not set it off either.n I asked if "Jake" had checked in, but they did not know who Jake was. I guess that was before your 5 minutes of fame!

No kidding . . . in that case I apologize if my snoring kept you up or woke you up! . . . when traveling I usually use my real name . . . since folks seem to get a little worried when my pseudonym doesn't match up to the name on the credit card.

You guys don't shovel your roofs down there?
All kidding aside, It took me awhile to shovel of my roof using a scoop, shovel, and a 20' roof rake

I did four roofs last week. Every year people up here have to shovel thier roofs, atleast once.

I keep the snow on mine, it makes for good insulation!

Yes it does, but 4 feet of snow and ice buildup make your houses a pile of wood if you wait too long.

Kodak moment #1: Freshly-fallen snow on a roof with smoke curling out of a chimney.

Kodak moment #2: Freshly-fallen snow on a collapsed roof with home owners staggering out of the rubble wondering why they are now the proud owners of a pile of kindling.
