Please don't line up in your vehicle outside the gate before 5AM.

Sleeping in your car on park property is illegal camping.

Do not camp out at Caribou Pit - it's an emergency services staging area and National Guard medi-evac landing zone.

The Togue Pond picnic area is gated at night - it is not a free campsite.

Thanks!

NoBos, consider avoiding a Labor Day weekend finish at Katahdin.

Katahdin Stream Campground is reserved for a Native American gathering every year at this time.

This is a Wabanaki community event, not a 'pow wow' for tourists. There will be no day use parking passes, and no parking at all for anyone picking you up. The AT is still open through the campground. The shuttle will pick you up at the Ranger's cabin.

The Birches will still be open for the first 12 long distance hikers signing up each day, but there will be absolutely no sites at Abol or Katahdin Stream.

Please share this info and link with your fellow hikers:

What happened to all of Graham Platner's money? Can Troy Jackson access some of it?

Did it all go to Mo Katz? Is there nothing left?

Dig diary - Week one at Skaill, Rousay, Orkney

>Week one at Skaill started with a splash! Well, with torrential rain anyway.

>The first day, Monday, July 6, was very wet, but the team were just uncovering the site so were able to make a good start. Site co-director Dan Lee provides an update.  

>It’s great to be back at the site for what we plan to be the final season on the eastern side of the site – exploring the medieval and postmedieval farm buildings that we have been working on for a number of years now. The buildings date from at least the 14th to 19th century with a number of structural phases that have raised the ground level by around two metres. 

>This year we are hosting five UHI undergraduate and post-graduate students for their excavation training modules, and joined by returning students and Rousay residents.  

Much more about this year's plans and goals at the link.

If the "Democrat Establishment" wanted Graham Platner to lose...

...they would've funded Governor Janet Mills last year.

Instead, the party chair said the tattoo wasn't disqualifying, the DNC funded Graham, gave him their donor lists, the DSCC threw him DC fundraisers, and had scores of the "establishment" endorse him.

Enough with the revisionist history.

Platner did this to himself. He has no one else to blame.
