Notes: First time back to Whitaker in a few years. This area is directly across the street from our timeshare "cottage". The trails were in much better condition and appeared well used, an indication that MTB popularity could be rising in the area. My daylight was limited so I only covered some of the perimeter, but there's plenty of trails here for a full fledged ride. I did spend some time doubling back for the map I dropped along the way...stop laughing...even Magellan needed some sort of map! With the map, I still managed to overshoot the trail I needed to find the hospital fitness trail, which was to lead me to the trail along Saco River. After some unsuccessful scouting, I had to hop out to the road and cross Rte 16 to get back on track. Saco was flowing quite high, thanks Irene, and the water was not the usual crystal clear. All in all a good ride...much more here to investigate.
Tidbits: Bears have big poops. BUT I have a Bear Bell on my handlebars (doesn't that give you a nice secure feeling?)
Happy Trails,
OMMB
