So here's the deal. After a long winter with a pregnant wife, and now a baby, no skiing trips, no vacation, working full time and 2 months of non stop working on a house renovation when I should have been sleeping, I need to get away from civilization for awhile. And for some god forsaken reason that I won't question, my wife is ok with it.

So, I am looking to carry out a route I planned through Maine for a 4-5 day trip. Focus of the trip is to see some cool sights(water falls, ice caves etc), do some hiking, maybe mountain biking if I bring it, sightseeings, camping and of course Im sure we can find some dirt to get the truck(s) into and hopefully out of. There will be paved roads, dirt roads, and hopefully some good remote and challenging trails, but this isn't going to be a trip based soley on wheeling. We can all go to rausch for a day if that's what is preferred. A slightly modded truck, or even a capable stock truck with good tires should suffice. I have an end goal and route in mind, but we're not going to be stupid about it, if the mileage is too much or the path too difficult we will revise the plan. No biggy.

Looking for a couple trucks (not a convoy of 20) to tag along if anyone is interesed, although I'm going regardless (the dog will make fine company if nobody else is up for it!)

Lets just make sure you are adequately prepped for a 4-5 day camping excursion. We're not going to Antarctica but don't show up with bald street tires, no spare, and a leaking gas tank.

Looking to do this in May sometime, maybe Memorial Day or maybe an earlier weekend. I can send the KMZ file to whoever is interested in coming.

I would love to hear some details about your trip. Maybe see some pics and a map of where you went. I just moved to Maine and would like to do something similar. Although, I am having a hard time finding trails online!! Some of your wisdom would help!
