hut to hut cross country

March 30, 2015

Never gone that far so didn't know what to expect. Turned out we all enjoyed the outing! For 4 gals in our 60's; we felt pretty good. Kept the same pace and Had a great time! Huts were comfortable and warm. Which was greatly appreciated when arrived. The food was excellent and the staff was very nice. Such a nice experience that we all would like to go again next year. Thinking about planning a trip in January and go in opposite direction along the river from the Flagg staff Hut to Grand Falls Hut.

Troop 478, Orono Outing

March 30, 2015

Led a group of 14 scouts and adults into the hut for a nights excursion. Food and staff were excellent. This was out 6th or 7th year back to MH+T for a similar outing. Kids hand adults had a great time. Very impressed with the professionalism of the crew. Had a great time visiting with one of our eagles, and now flagstaff hut person, Jesse Guerin. We'll be back next year; usually with an even larger crowd.

Cold but Warm

March 30, 2015

It was a very cold and windy day. It's hard to know what to compare the hut to as I have never been in one before, so I'll just make comments on my experience. It was such a cold day that I had to crawl over snow drifts near Flagstaff Lake as I set up from the Flagstaff trailhead for the Poplar hut. My water froze in its bottle. I was so happy to get to the hut. The welcome was extremely warm!! Lovely staff! I was, however, disappointed that the hut was not that warm. The huge woodstove had only dying embers in it and I asked if I could revive it. I stayed glued to the stove until it was time for dinner. Despite the huge and delicious meal, I still was not warm. The comments from the others staying that night, the showers were not that hot, so I decided not to chill myself more by taking a lukewarm shower. The bunkrooms were about 52 degrees, so I just slept in all my clothes. I would definitely repeat this experience but maybe not in winter. I love that the huts are off-the-grid and don't waste a lot of energy on heat, but I will be better prepared next time for a chilly experience. Great staff, great food, tho

Successful trip

March 30, 2015

We were a group of 4 (over 60) ladies. The skiing was good. Have seen it better but mother nature always has her say. The food was terrific and the staff at both Flagstaff and Poplar were wonderful cooks and very personable. Can't wait to come again, probably next Jan. Anxious to ski to Grand Falls and spend the night.

Spring skiing almost

March 29, 2015

My daughter and I had a wonderful overnight at Stratton Brook Hut. Skied in from the airport to Poplar Hut for lunch. It was a beautiful spring day taking off layers and basking in the sun at every turn. Spent a great night in the Stratton Brook Hut with folks from around our wonderful State of Maine. Waking Sunday morning to 50 mile an hour gusts and a zero temp was truly invigorating. Loved it! The conditions were fast and we decided to cross Route 27 and take advantage of the Carrabassett ski center trails for a full day of touring. Great Maine weekend for a mother and daughter adventure.
