Join us on Tuesday March 11 to hear Carey Kish and his wife Fran’s tales of their 12-day dream backpacking trek traversing Baxter State Park south to north. The route covered 85 miles from Togue Pond Gate at the southern end of Baxter State Park to Matagamon Gate in the far northeast corner. Enjoying this long-term dream of a winding and scenic wilderness thru-hike, they combined at least a dozen trails and took in every fabulous vista. Four food drops stashed along the way and nights spent in lean-tos and one cabin meant reasonably light packs. There was only one problem… Carey and Fran will share their photos, their tales and their mostly joy about walking through Baxter State Park. Join them at Maine Audubon’s Fields Pond Center, 216 Fields Pond Rd, Holden, ME 04429, about 15 minutes south of Bangor for their talk and slide show at 7pm.
