BLConaway Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thinking about this. Did Porcupines a few years back, paddled solo up there too. Would love to explore more in the area. I've camped at Hadley before, so might do that. Will confirm as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhabich Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Betsy and I will be there, staying at the Llangolan. The innkeeper mentioned that there are dog agility trials that weekend at the Hadley Point campground...should be good amusement. Might keep the bears away from Warren's tent too.

EEL Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Some info participants may find helpful.Decent charts of the area are Maptech Chart 42 and Waterproof Chart #105.The area marine forecasts are from NOAA in Caribou. Which forecast to follow is an open question.http://www.erh.noaa.gov/displayprod.php?product=PWMCWFCAR&versions=10There are two NOAA WX VHF stations which cover the area. The one in Jonesboro (CH 5) is marine info only while the one in Ellsworth (Ch2) is both land and marine.Both are powerful stations with great coverage in the area.Keep in mind is the water temps will be a max of @55 and will likely feel a bit chilly for those who have been paddling on the North Shore.This book has a good deal of info about MDI in additions to paddling suggestions.http://www.amazon.com/Kayakers-Guide-Mount-Desert-Island/dp/0892723807Ed Lawson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
