Location

Off Highway 1, five miles south of Danforth.

Participants

Plans

We are going to see what we can do with this hashpoint from a base camp in Waterville. It looks pretty doable, but it's hard to say for sure without being familiar with forest density and access norms in this part of the world.

Expedition

We woke up on 2013-09-02 to the unexpected sound of rain bucketing down on the Pine Tree State. This led to considerable modification of our game plan. We ditched this one. Oddly, we went ahead and tried for two others: 2013-09-02 45 -68 and 2013-09-02 45 -67.

-We were gabbing with a garrulous woman from the Maine welcome center at Houlton.  "Where are you going next?" she asked, brightly.  "Danforth," I said.  She was stunned.  "DANFORTH?!?"  With a scattering of homes in various states of repair and a few small gas stations, the village is clearly not a major tourist draw.

-I had big thoughts on the drive south about wading or swimming if necessary to claim this far-eastern U.S. hashpoint.  It was a real anticlimax, then, to find that since the Google Streetview truck came through, someone has slapped No Trespassing signs on the access road that we would have needed to use.  One more expedition towards the Posted achievement, I suppose.  And, we'll always have Danforth.
