Hiking Canada’s Sentiers Frontaliers with Carey Kish- Presentation

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast Carey Kish joined thirty hearty French Canadian walkers last August for a hike on the Sentiers Frontaliers, or Border Trail, that meanders along our northern international border. The group started from the customs station at Chartierville, Quebec, just north of Pittsburg, New Hampshire, and walked east roughly following the international boundary. The hikers passed over a series of 3,000-foot peaks amidst the rugged and unpopulated border region during their 55-mile, six-day trek. Plenty of big smiles, hugs, and handshakes made for easy communication and camaraderie during long days of walking. Please join us on Tuesday March 30 as Carey will show pictures from this journey as well as some images of a week-long solo adventure last October on the Freezeout Trail through the far northern reaches of Baxter State Park. This program, sponsored jointly by Maine Audubon and the Maine Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, is free and open to the public. It will be at Gilsland Farm, Maine Audubon headquarters on Gilsland Farm Road in Falmouth, ME, five minutes north of Portland. Parking is plentiful and free. A potluck dinner will begin at 6 pm followed by the presentation at 7 pm. Bring a potluck item to share and your own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.). Drinks will be provided and plastic-ware will be available. Free and open to the public.
