New Ride Share Idea This weeks Hike April 21: A walk in scenic Sorrento



With gas approaching $4 a gallon I thought I would try to start a ride share post on this blog.

It should be possible for each DOC member who needs a ride or wants to share gas expenses to click on "post a comment" or "comments" at the bottom of this posting.

I suggest just posting your first name and last initial (no Phone # or email) with your needs or offers. Hopefully another DOC member will contact you by phone and make the necessary arrangements.

Tip . . . use your most recent DOC member list to locate someone who lives close to you by zip code or telephone prefix

If anybody has a better idea to make this idea work better you suggestions are welcome and you can post your thoughts on this subject also.

April 14th Sears Island

Cora H & Bob & Sandy lead this hike. Early spring weather welcomed 27 hikers to a day in the woods & beach. Bonus: 3 Geocach locations were found by a few DOCers and a impromptu beach clean-up took place.

Frenchboro Island lobster bake; Aug. 13, 2011

Note this is not a DOC event

Message from Ron & Charlotte S.
This is an early heads up about the annual Frenchboro lobster bake, usually held 2nd Saturday in august (that would be 13 aug this year). This is a wonderful event at an authentic offshore island lobstering community. Transportation by ferry from Bass Harbor, lobster bake, and some hiking for $25.00 (based on last year's price). More info later.
Save the date.
