Needle ice. Those exquisite, fragile crystalline columns of ice that grow out of the ground when conditions are right – mois- Oture-saturated unfrozen dirt and the air temperature below freezing. Beth and I were headed up the A-Z and Mount Tom Spur trails to the Mount Tom summit. Not much of a view to be had up there, but what a special hike! A couples miles of trail whose sides were strewn with oodles of patches and swaths of needle ice. A fairyland of sorts. You just never know what treasure the next hike will reveal. July 1, 2018. That day will mark the one hundred years duration of Cold River Camp’s operation serving guests as an Appalachian Mountain Club facility. Imagine that! All the guest footsteps walking our same trails. All the conver- sations at meals. The songs, poems and skits evoked and shared on Talent Nights. And volunteer-managed all that time. It is marvelous that so many of our CRC community carry on that tradition of committed investment. But we’ll hold our enthusiasm in check and do our celebrating in our 100th anniversary year, which will be 2019. A celebration committee has been at hard at work for about two years. You can read more about that on page 18 of this LDD.

    White Mountain National Forest, Western ME Maine Geological Survey Maine Geologic Facts and Localities December, 2002 Glacial and Postglacial Geology Highlights in the White Mountain National Forest, Western Maine 44° 18‘ 37.24“ N, 70° 49‘ 24.26“ W Text by Woodrow B. Thompson Maine Geological Survey Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 1 White Mountain National Forest, Western ME Maine Geological Survey Introduction The part of the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) in western Maine contains scenic high mountains (including the Caribou-Speckled Wilderness), hiking trails, and campgrounds. A variety of interesting geological features can be seen along the Forest roads and trails. This field guide is intended as a resource for persons who are visiting the Forest and would like information about the glacial and postglacial geology of the region. The selection of sites included here is based on geologic mapping by the author, and more sites may be added to this website as they are discovered in the future. The WMNF in Maine is an irregular patchwork of Federal lands mingled with tracts of private property. Boundaries may change from time to time, but the Forest lands included in this field trip are shown on the Speckled Mountain and East Stoneham 1:24,000 topographic quadrangle maps. Most of the sites described here are within the Forest and open to the public. A few additional sites in the nearby Crooked River and Pleasant River valleys are also mentioned to round out the geological story. Please keep in mind that although the latter places may be visible from roads, they are private property.

  • Oxford County Historic Skiing Sites: Interpretive Map Being Developed by Ski Museum
    Celebrating and Preserving the History and Heritage of Maine Skiing • Spring 2015 SKI MUSEUM OF MAINE Oxford County Historic Skiing Sites: Interpretive map being developed by Ski Museum By Scott Andrews Editor, Snow Trail Oxford County has been a hotbed of Maine skiing for more than a century, a geographic theme that’s visually underscored by a new interpretive map that’s being developed by the Ski Museum of Maine. Oxford County’s claim to historical fame dates from the 1890s, when Finnish immigrants first settled in West Paris and surrounding towns. Skiing was one of the Finns’ many contributions to Maine’s culture. In 1895 a lone “skee-man” vistied Fryeburg. He was with a group of snowshoe enthusiasts from the Boston-based Appalachian Mountain Club. About the turn of the 20th century, the Paris Manufacturing Company began making skis. Most of the workers in the ski department were local Finns. Rumford’s long and distinguished ski history began about the time of World War I, when a Norwegian immigrant named Mat Liz Chenard and Leslie Miller were two of 37 junior athletes from Nilsen arrived in town and began to amaze Rumford’s Chisholm Ski Club who competed at the national level during local folks with his prowess on skis. A few years the 1970s. The Chisholm Ski Club, founded in 1924, is Maine’s oldest, and it boasts a long and proud history that continues to the present. later, he co-founded the Chisholm Ski Club, (Courtesy Wendall “Chummy” Broomhall) which remains active to the present.
