Last ice landing of the year-Winter concert in Maine
Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:51 am
Hey All, This might be the last chance to do an ice landing this season. Saturday, March 11, 2017 the Bald Mountain Camp in Rangeley, Maine is planning their Winter Concert.
The music starts at 4PM. I plan on arriving about 3:30 and staying for a couple of hours.

Seeing as we missed our gracious host, Steve Philbrick during his winter Fly-In earlier this year I thought that maybe we could attend his concert on the ice.
He will have a tent set up with food or you could go inside where it is warm if you prefer. It is supposed to be well below freezing, so bundle up!
Current ice condition is glare. He says that it is a skating rink right now and based upon his words, I am leaving my wheel pants on... if that affects your decision. The forecast shows possible snow in Rangeley on Friday and that usually translates to light, powdery and blowing snow on the glare ice. Worst case scenario you might have to plow through a drift.
I expect that we will hang around until dusk or so and then head back home. I have room here in Plymouth for those that wish to spend the night.
There is cheap fuel in Bethel, Maine. I will be stopping there on the way up. The identifier is 0B1 and last I checked it is $3.99.
Anyone interested?
