Lambert's Meadow Shelter and Campground closed due to Problem Bear activity
(5/11/16) Due to problem bear activity around Lamberts Meadow Shelter and Campsite, including a bear coming into the shelter and taking hikers' food bags, Lambert's Meadow Shelter and Campground are closed. If necessary, hikers may use a temporary designated campsite that has been established just south of Hay Rock, and marked with a sign. No fires! Hay Rock is 5.4 miles north of Lamberts Meadow Shelter, and 4 miles south of US-220 in Daleville. Lamberts Meadow is the only reliable water source between Campbell Shelter and Tinker Creek near Daleville. Hikers camping near Hay Rock should bring sufficient water.

I found an old outdated article on another web site that was three years out of date. There were places that were closed or no longer accepted mail drops. The article was in need of being updated. I thought it would be a good idea to put one together and post it here.

This resupply list was created, keeping a few things in mind.

It was based on 15 mile hiking days.

Bob Cummings, Legendary Maine environmental reporter moves on to new trails

It is very sad news that I have to pass on that our fellow WhiteBlaze member "Weary" has passed on. Here is an article by Jym St. Pierre about Weary.

Robert Cummings of Phippsburg died Thursday, January 21, at age 86.

Born in Bath, Maine, Bob Cummings was a 1958 graduate of the University of Illinois School of Journalism, where he worked part-time as a reporter for the Champaign-Urbana Courier. After returning to Maine he worked briefly in the Machias Bureau of the Bangor Daily News before joining the staff of the Bath Times.
