Did you look at Beaver cove web cam?

I would wait and ask closer to the date you're going. I took a wheeler up there one year and quickly traded it in for a sled. This weekend could be a good storm and we still have,. HOW MANY DAYS HAZZY!

I fished rockwood yesterday and there's not a flake of snow on the lake where I was. Creepers and wheelers are the way to go. had 6 inches of black ice in spots and 18 inches of white ice 100 feet away. The snowmobile trails are down to dirt. They have less snow up there than I have in Augusta. Any one that said the sledding is good might want to check again.

Oh and the fishing was awesome.

Glad to hear you had a good trip. Before last weekend, the sledding up there was mid winter. They got killed with warm temps, a little rain, and heavy traffic last weekend.

I had all I could do not to head back up this morning. Probably going back tommorrow. Maybe the wind won't blow so bad.

gonna bring a sled anyway runners are cheap!

Mainedog · « **Reply #77 on:** Jan 06, 2011, 10:37 PM »

If you're going to bring a sled, Hazzy, might want an air-cooled one, and one that is picked. Last year, many folks were having over-heating issues with their liquid cooled sleds since the lake had practically no snow on it!

I rec your dep yesterday let the fun begin

Hartford · « **Reply #84 on:** Jan 09, 2011, 05:01 PM »

I know i'm new but I'd like to go. This trip sounds like it would be a great way to learn and have some fun. I was wondering if it's too late sign up. Also, how far do you guys usually go from the camps? I don't have a means of going anywhere on the lake except by foot.

pfd161 · « **Reply #85 on:** Jan 09, 2011, 05:13 PM »

no worries Hartford.... most of us will have sleds or 4 wheelers...we will fit you on somewhere....

Hartford · « **Reply #86 on:** Jan 09, 2011, 05:18 PM »

I feel uncomfortable asking/relying on others to do something like that. I That's why I was asking.

I'm still figuring out which days I can make it up. I'll know by tomorrow afternoon.

Mainehazmt · « **Reply #87 on:** Jan 09, 2011, 07:14 PM »

not to worry we'll get ya out!

LINGUINI · « **Reply #88 on:** Jan 09, 2011, 09:33 PM »

It is getting down to crunch time. PLEASE I need to know who is planning to attend.
I am going to have to cancel a couple of the cabins if we don't have enough people. It is still going to happen we will just use the lodge if we have to. So please get back to me
Thank You linguini

Hartford · « **Reply #89 on:** Jan 09, 2011, 09:40 PM »

I posted in the other thread already. I'll find by noon tomorrow which days, and then I'll send a check out immediately. Sorry for coming in so late, but I just found this place.
