Arnold Trail Historical Society reps visit WSKI
After years of trying to track someone down to be on our Mountain Report show to talk about this historical event that happened so ‘long ago’ but not at all ‘far away’, we found two locals who are part of the ATHS, Kenny Wing & Rocky Freeman, right under our noses! The story of Benedict Arnold’s march to Quebec City from Newburyport, Mass. is a tale of heroic efforts, valiant attempts to persevere… & harsh weather & conditions that led to very high attrition along the way…. with some of their worst terrain & experiences right in our backyard north to Lac Megantic! Check out arnoldsmarch.com for more info on this fascinating piece of history that you can explore.. re-trace their route & imagine as you go…!
Longfellow Mountains Heritage Trail
Larry Warren was a guest on one of WSKI’s live shows recently to discuss the plans for a trail from the Canadian Border to Kingfield to tie the Maine Huts & Trails and Appalachian Trail into the decades old proposed International Loop Trail following Benedict Arnold’s journey from the Dead River (now Flagstaff Lake)to the Canadian Border, where it will connect to the Sentiers Frontaliers in QC.
Hit the Trails!
By land or water, motor or people powered, there are so many ways to have a great time outdoors & see awesome vistas along the way all throughout the Maine High Peaks region, so get out & play, & thanks to everyone whose hard work makes it possible, as well as landowners on whose property they let us pass!
