Baxter
State Park Excursion, August 21-24, 2008
Join
members of the Thoreau Society for a long weekend
of hiking, camping, swimming and wildlife watching
in Baxter State Park, Maine. Mount Katahdin,
Maine’s highest peak, was one of Thoreau's
destinations on his Maine Woods journey of 1846.
Now protected within this 200,000-acre state
park, Katahdin and its surrounding wilderness
offer hundreds of miles of trails, streams and
mountain peaks.
Like
last year, Trout Brook Farm Group Sites at Baxter
State Park have been reserved for up to 18 of
us for 4 nights, August
21-24, 2008. You will arrive Thursday
and depart Monday. For those of you unfamiliar
with that site, it is approximately 1 1/2 miles
from the Grand Lake Matagamon gate on the northeastern
side of the park with green grass, plenty of
sun and shade. There is also a camp store, which
has showers, just a quick ride out of the gate.
