gsgraham-stephens posted a comment on an event: Camping, Hiking and Paddling Weekend 1 days ago
If Umbagog sites are full, it’s not a crisis, it’s a plot twist. Mollidgewock State Park is only 10.8 miles away (about 17 minutes, just enough time to change your mind about the playlist twice). We can still coordinate everything across both camps, breakfast hangs, paddling, hikes, campfires, and the completely optional but absolutely inevitable group sing-along.
