Little Moose Island Oct 11th 2012

Shirley E. led this weeks outing to Little Moose Island in the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park

 

October 8-10: Two nights at Twin Pines

By popular demand the club returned to Twin Pines resort in Millinocket near the south entrance to Baxter State Park, I think this was the 3rd year the club has returned to Twin Pines.  Mary Beth D. did a fine job of organizing this years outing and combined with great fall weather it's safe to say that everybody had a good time . . again. 

Jane & Gordon and Linda B. provided some fine musical  entertainment one evening . . see the videos below
