I would say there are those similarities. The biggest difference is the landscape. It’s really open. It’s not flat but there aren’t the steep hills and deep valleys like VT and NH. There are gigantic fields like you don’t see anywhere in VT anywhere else in NE that I know of. It is definitely worth visiting, especially if you like outdoor recreation.

I didn't but I there have been news stories about this happening, especially in tech companies. https://www.businessinsider.com/google-layoffs-alphabet-jobs-pichai-email-slap-in-the-face-2023-1 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11655877/Amazon-begins-layoffs-18-000-workers-informing-email.html

There was 5-6” when we left Limestone around 9:30 this morning. Snow let up fora while and started again around 2:00. Snowed at a decent clip all the way back to the hotel. Maybe 8” not real sure. Still snowing when we went to dinner.

They lay off people via email now. Watch out!

Not with this group. It’s all officials from different state and provincial snowmobile associations. We left at 9:30 from Limestone and got here around noon.

Not my first choice but it wasn’t as bad as I feared it would be. Rode to the Lakeview with the same group today. Fresh powder this morning. Somewhere between 4-6”

Yes, it’s 90. We went to Dean’s for lunch. We broke into 2 groups. Staying at the old Loring Air Force Base in Limestone. It’s the winter meeting of the Northeast Chapter of the International Snowmobile Council. NY, MA, ME, NH, VT plus PEI, NB and Nova Scotia. We are missing Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland from the meeting.

That makes sense. I’ve had a pretty good week up here. Not epic miles for a lot of guys but nearing 600 for the four days of riding I’ve had with one more to go tomorrow. Huge group today, 36 sleds. We rode from Limestone to Portage. People from as far away as Nova Scotia and western NY.

@WinterWolfdo you leave your sled up at the place you’re renting in St.Agatha or trailer it every time you go up?

Because it was in a garbage can lid?

Got warm up here today. 35°. The snow is still good though.

Not bad where I am.

Crossing the Aroostook River outside Presque Isle. It’s a pretty wide river.

Decent snow in St. Agatha

The locals say the snow started later than usual but they've made up some ground. I tool the top one for @Ginx snewx. I know how he loves the drift pics. With the giant fields, some of the drifts are crazy. The other one is overlooking Long Lake.

Got here about 6:30.

Wait till I start taking pictures up her in Caribou. The people who own the inn told me it they didn't really start getting snow until about 3 weeks ago. They've made up for lost time a bit.

17° and light snow in Caribou, well, I'm actually staying in Limestone on the old Loring Air Base. Very wintry. 8 hour ride. Going east/west in NNE is never easy.

Lol. I know I couldn't tent for 5 days. Just looking at the people in the rain and the mud gave me the shivers. It was good to see Lemmy perform.

@Cold Miser I feel like I took a tour of your musical world tonight. First I watched the Waken Festival documentary. I’ve seen stuff about it before but it looks totally crazy. I’m just a fringe metal guy anyway, more of a hard rock type. Looks fun though if I was 30 years younger. Next I watched Rammstein in Amerika. Not overly familiar with them but the doc was very good. Seeing them arrested in Worcester in 1999 for a performance the year before was something. Not sure I could be a fan but I like the art aspect of what they do and the fearlessness of it.

That would be my guess. I’m a few miles from there an about 150’ higher but there generally isn’t a big difference. It stood out yesterday for the first time I can really remember.

I guess I’m not sure what this means.

I just love the old tropes. And that one is the best.

He also classified Mahk as far interior NNE.

Using the "Ginx" filter for your camera huh?
