Eastern Trail | New England 2019 | Recumbent Trike Touring
The 28.9-mile Eastern Trail connects the historic towns along Maine’s southern coast from the woods near Kennebunk to South Portland’s harbor lighthouse. Nearly 22 miles of the route follows off-road rail-trail and greenway interrupted by two major on-road gaps in Saco/Biddeford and Scarborough. Plans are underway to close at least one of these gaps and extend the trail another 19 miles southwest to Kittery. The East Coast Greenway incorporates the Eastern Trail on its 3,000-mile-long trail project between Maine and Key West, Florida.
We were only able to ride a portion of this trail and were lucky enough to have an 83 old lady guide us into Portland and to the lighthouse. One bad intersection, however, but if you are patient, you can eventually get through it.
Close the Gap - Connecting South Portland to Scarborough on Maine's Eastern Trail
The Eastern Trail is a vital multi-use trail of state-wide significance in Maine. The trail extends 65 miles from South Portland to Kittery, and travels by scenic woods, tidal marshes, and classic Maine villages. Since its creation sixteen years ago, the trail has provided millions of people with a recreational and transportation resource that connects them to the beautiful Maine landscape.
Gap MapClick on image to see larger viewBut a key piece of trail is missing in Scarborough. A 1.6-mile “gap” interrupts off-road travel between South Portland and Saco. The construction of this critical trail segment, which includes two bridges will close this gap and provide 16 continuous off-road miles reaching from South Portland’s Bug Light to Downtown Saco. The cost to close this gap is $3.8 million dollars.

North Conway is a census-designated place (CDP) in eastern Carroll County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 2,349 at the 2010 census. A year-round resort area, North Conway is the largest village within the town of Conway, which is bounded on the east by the Maine state line. The White Mountain National Forest is to the west and north. Conway is home to Cathedral Ledge (popular with climbers), Echo Lake State Park, and Mount Cranmore. North Conway is known for its large number of outlet shops.
Chartered in 1765 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth, the town is named for Henry Seymour Conway, ambitious son of a prominent English family, who was elected to the House of Commons at age twenty, fought at Culloden, and became Secretary of State. Early settlers called the area Pequawket (known colloquially as Pigwacket), adopting the name of the Abenaki Indian village which stretched down the Saco River to its stockaded center at Fryeburg, Maine.
North Conway is located in the White Mountains, with Mount Washington located to the northwest. The rugged terrain became popular in the 19th century with artists. Their paintings were known collectively as White Mountain art, which in turn attracted tourists to the area, particularly after the Portsmouth, Great Falls & Conway Railroad extended service in 1872 to North Conway. In 1874, the line built a Second Empire depot, designed by Nathaniel J. Bradlee. In 1932, snow trains began carrying enthusiasts to the birthplace of American skiing, as North Conway is known.
Increasing automobile travel brought the decline of trains. The railroad, then part of the Boston & Maine, abandoned passenger service to the area in 1961, and freight service in 1972. Subsequently, the Conway Scenic Railroad was established. Today, the line offers visitors a tour of the region, including Crawford Notch. The station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the late 1980s, the White Mountain Airport closed and was redeveloped as a large outlet mall called Settlers' Green Outlet Village. Continued growth through the 1990s and 2000s in North Conway and the villages nearby made Conway the most populous community in Carroll County. Traffic congestion led to an overhaul of the road system, including widening Route 16 through North Conway village and constructing a road parallel to Route 16 to allow traffic to move between Redstone and Intervale uninterrupted. A bypass of the area is being developed.

White Mountains
Bartlett, New Hampshire
Pinkham Notch
Mt. Washington , N.H.
The White Mountains are a mountain range covering about a quarter of the state of New Hampshire and a small portion of western Maine in the United States. They are part of the northern Appalachian Mountains and the most rugged mountains in New England. The range is heavily visited due to its proximity to Boston and, to a lesser extent, New York City and Montreal.
Most of the area is public land, including the White Mountain National Forest and a number of state parks. Its most famous mountain is 6,288-foot (1,917 m) Mount Washington, which is the highest peak in the Northeastern U.S. and which held the record for fastest surface wind gust (231 miles per hour (372 km/h), over 100 m/s, in 1934) in the world for 76 years. Mount Washington is part of a line of summits, the Presidential Range, that are named after U.S. presidents and other prominent Americans.
The White Mountains also include the Franconia Range, Sandwich Range, Carter-Moriah Range and Kinsman Range in New Hampshire, and the Mahoosuc Range straddling the border between it and Maine. In all, there are 48 peaks within New Hampshire as well as one (Old Speck Mountain) in Maine over 4,000 feet (1,200 m), known as the Four-thousand footers.
The Whites are known for a system of alpine huts for hikers operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club. The Appalachian Trail crosses the area from southwest to northeast.
It is not clear where the name White Mountains came from. There is no record of what Native Americans called the range, although pre-Colonial names for many individual peaks are known.[1] The name and similar ones such as White Hills or Wine Hills are found in literature from Colonial times. According to tradition, the mountains were first sighted from shipboard off the coast near the Piscataqua estuary. The highest peaks would often be snow-capped, appearing white.

Railfan's Special to Whitefield, Conway Scenic Railroad Railfan's Weekend, 9-2-18
Conway Scenic's Railfan's Weekend is an incredible mix of railroading, Saturday included Freight Extras, a photo shoot, and various railroadiana, Sunday had one main event, the Whitefield Junction Excursion, also called the Red Ball Special in the previous year of it's operation. Conway Scenic Railroad made some variations to this years running, most notably the power swap of #216 to #4266, as well the double header from North Conway to Fabyan Station, at that point, the train reconfigured itself to the more familiar locomotive at each end from last year (there is no switch to run around at Whitefield, and the photo opportunity basically demanded a locomotive to be at the tail end of the consist).
The Whitefield Excursion brought passengers and railfans out to Whitefield Junction, where the original last ball signal still in it's original location resides. Years of abandonment has taken it's visible toll on the Junction, while the line remained open to various carriers following it's abandonment by Guilford Transportation (currently Pan Am Railways) in 1983. When Guilford took over the Maine Central and Boston and Maine, the majority of the Mountain Division (the vast majority of the western section of the route) was abandoned as its lack of local customers meant that Whitefield was only useful as an interchange with other railroads besides the Boston and Maine, GTI determined it easier to provide an interchange with the Canadian Pacific in Mattawamkeag, Maine, skipping over the rigorous grades of Crawford Notch. Currently the trackage over the Whitefield Diamond is operated by the shortline New Hampshire Central, as well as occasional use by Conway Scenic, the ball signal has been restored, with the only mainline of the two in use being the old Boston and Maine Berlin Branch. The Maine Central Mountain Sub Division leading to St. Johnsbury, Vermont has been abandoned, with the condition of the line varying from remarkable condition to paved over at crossings and partially removed.

Coolest Campsite Of All Time!
Best campsite ever! We filmed the next episode of Limitless Adventure with the New Hampshire Parks Department up at Moose Brook State Park, such a cool experience! Went on a sick mountain biking trail, rode out to the middle of nowhere, swam in a freezing cold pond and hiked to find some amazing spots. Don’t forget to check out the official video over on the NH State Parks Department Channel!

Saco Lake With TMCC and MESA 5/11
Today MESA ventured to Crawford Notch to explore Saco Lake, the start of the Saco River. The trip is the beginning of the end of sorts. All year students have been learning about ecohydrology and visited almost every wetland. Everything that Mike Dufilho, teacher naturalist with TMCC,has taught the students will have to be applied over the next few weeks as we make our way downstream from Saco Lake to the Atlantic Ocean.
