EastMark Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 How far to Libbys from Baxter roughly Mike ? Quote
mikerider Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 Maybe 85 miles to Libby's, same for Umcolcus Camps. Someone said a set of camps for lunch in Brownville is also good, believe name is Wildwood Camps. Quote
EastMark Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 All 3 good options Mike. Been a while since I rode the area and couldnt recall mileage. Feeble brain here. 😉 Thanks for the info. PLAYHARD and mikerider 1 1 Quote
Blueblood Posted February 16, 2021 Author Report Posted February 16, 2021 went up to caribou for a couple days. rode down 81 south out of Van Buren and was able to say i rode in Canada this year 🤷♂️😄 Quote
Blueblood Posted February 16, 2021 Author Report Posted February 16, 2021 was interesting riding down this section with those markers in it. MrGutz, PLAYHARD, MrsGTRider and 2 others 5 Quote
EastMark Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) How was the trails in the area Blueblood ? We were up a few weeks ago and back in Caribou in 2 weeks. 🙂 Edited February 16, 2021 by EastMark Quote
SnowCrazed Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 Mike, I have the perfect sled for those tiny non-Quebec trails! Hope I can see you soon. mikerider, jak, MrGutz and 3 others 2 1 3 Quote
Blueblood Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Posted February 19, 2021 sorry I took so long getting back. I have found the farther north I go the better the trails are. GT Rider, Snobeeler, MrsGTRider and 2 others 4 1 Quote
mikerider Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Blueblood, you have managed to really see the best of Maine Are you still in Maine.? I am back in Millinocket for a week. I am really liking the 3 hour ride to get here vs. 6 1/2 hrs. trip to RDL. And I am loving the cheap prices I am paying for dinner each night. During my week this trip there will be five QuebecRiders in Millinocket. I actually thought there would be many posting they are riding in Maine. Apparently some must be sitting out the winter. Riding today was 5 stars, went to WildWood Cabins. mike MrsGTRider, zeusand, SnowCrazed and 3 others 6 Quote
EastMark Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Left Millinocket about 815 this AM. Lisa and I ht many good trails up to Shin Pond to Libby Camps( typical amazing food there ) and back thru Mattagammon to Milly. Back at 2:45. Got busier and a little choppy last 20 of 160 miles. Nearly All great. Fun day. Honored to have RDL Mayor Mike here tearing up the local trails too. Snobeeler, MrsGTRider, P Hardy and 5 others 8 Quote

I'm in Presque isle at the Hampton right now headed back to Millinocket today to neoc. Maine is nice but quebec is better in my view. took me 11 hours to drive here which is about the same to RDL.

schooter Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Hi Mike we will be in Presque Isle today for the week as of now we are planning day trips out of the convention center Schooter and Keith Quote
mikerider Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 No argument from me Blueblood that Quebec is nicer, but so far my two trips to Millinocket have been very satisfying. Was at Libby's Camps at 9:45 this morning. Had to wait 15 minutes for them to open and feed me. And I feel like I am saving a bunch of money riding Maine vs. Canada. Shooter and Keith, have fun. Heard the PI Convention Ctr is really nice. I am not sure if Oxbow is within a day loop for you, but when I was up there a week ago the trails in that area were awesome on the south side of Oxbow. mike Quote
Blueblood Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Posted February 20, 2021 food does seem to cost more in quebec. what time do you leave in the morning mike to get to libbycamp by 9:45? Quote
Blueblood Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Posted February 20, 2021 our traveling mascot we were at shin pond right about noon today. definitely prefer weekday riding. MrGutz and mikerider 2 Quote
EastMark Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 It was moving to see it. Had another great day today. Left Milly about 9 and headed to the B52 Crash Site. Always wanted to see it but dont care to ride Greenville area so it was a chance to drop down to the site from here and then to Kokajo and back. Another 160 miles. Some great views up here on the trails. Dowtown Connector was trash. Out of town was good to perfect.Yes, Weekends are so different..agreed! Real fun day though. Head home in the AM. Great trip.

mikerider Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Left at 7:30. Topped off gas at Shin Pond. Trails were hard and smooth. Most of the way back was also very nice, hardly anyone had used the southbound lane, where as I could see the NB was heavily traveled since I had been through. dooright 1 Quote
mikerider Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 Really enjoying the Millinocket area. If only Universel would build me a hotel here. Today's ride was up around by Baxter Park and almost over to Kokajo and looped around a different trail coming back. Hit lots of smooth trails (until afternoon, but hey, its a Sunday) and beautiful sights including several views of Mt. Katahdin and Abol Dam, and the Penobscot River. mike MrGutz, MrsGTRider, GT Rider and 2 others 5 Quote

mikerider Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 Hi Shooter. I have never stayed at the convention center, I used to always ride out of Caribou back in the day. Have you been hitting good trails? mike Quote
EastMark Posted February 22, 2021 Report Posted February 22, 2021 Try Par and Grill in town. Good food. Quote
mikerider Posted February 22, 2021 Report Posted February 22, 2021 Eastmark, no ride before hitting the road this morning? Quote
EastMark Posted February 22, 2021 Report Posted February 22, 2021 Mike Had to pick the dog up so no. I saw your sled at 8 and then gone at 845 when we left so you got an early start. Key this week especially with traffic up as you know. We hit Kokadjo yesterday and got barked at by Marie that runs it making it complete. LOL. She is a character. mikerider and actionjack 2 Quote
mikerider Posted February 23, 2021 Report Posted February 23, 2021 Jak and Skidoo 420 joined me today for a romp down to Wildwood Cabins and lodge. I was embarrassed showing them the area on a Monday after the somewhat heavy weekend traffic. Pretty much every inch of the way was freshly groomed to perfection. It was the perfect day and Quebec like trails. The husband and wife team at Baxter Park Inn are turning out to be the perfect hosts. The food at Wildwood was great and portions were huge. Couple pics of the lodge at Wildwood. I thought this winter would be a disaster, turns out it has been awesome! mike Florida Snowman, P Hardy, MrsGTRider and 6 others 9 Quote

He's getting good quick.... too quick.... Leaving his poor Uncle in the Dust!! I did not want to deal with downtown trails in Milli with him. Thanks GutZ SnomoGary, mikerider and PLAYHARD 1 2 Quote
