Tuesday Tracking is ON

I promised the Greater Lovell Land Trust‘s Tuesday Trackers that I’d let them know by 7am today if our adventure would actually take place because the forecasters were predicting a snow storm. We LOVE snow, but not when it ruins our plans.

And so at 6:43am, after checking various weather reports and TV stations for cancellations, whereupon I discovered that no school’s had cancelled, which seemed a sign that meant if the kids could go to school, we could go tracking, until I remembered that this is school vacation week and the kids weren’t going to school today anyway, I wrote to the 54-member group: “Weather reports state that the snow will start at 1pm in both Cumberland and Oxford Counties today, but in the hourly listing it shows snow showers at 10 and snow at 11.

I’m going to go for it in hopes that we can at least find some evidence of the porcupine and its visitors, but trust those of you who had intended to join me to make that old judgement call. Please don’t be afraid to back out.”

Get Your Quest On

Get Your Quest On

The ME/NH Christmas Tree Quest is a fun way to get outside during the holiday season. Land trusts and other non-profit organizations in Maine and New Hampshire have a decorated tree somewhere along one of their trails.

The Quest begins December 1st. Trees will remain decorated until the end of the month.

Your job is to find the trail and the location of the decorated tree. There will be one tree per preserve. Once you find the tree, take a photo and share it with us … and your friends and family. The individual or family who finds the most trees will win a bag full of swag from the participating organizations. If we have multiple “winners,” we will draw one name for the prize. For more information, read our instructional “Join the Tree Hunt” page. Happy Questing!
