Hi, I'm Carl Natale, the guy in charge of MaineToday.com's Outdoors section. I'm also a registered Maine sea kayak guide, an avid (winter) hiker, cross country skier, casual biker and a car camper. Here are my adventures.
Tween seasons
I know I'm different. But I don't care. I have fun. But if I was more like the rest of Mainers, I would be having even more fun this spring.
For the rest of you, there's plenty of good skiing - cross country and downhill:

Snowmobilers aren't ready to put away the sleds either:
Let's see, I've covered skiing and snowmobiling. What did I miss? Try hiking to Tuckerman's Ravine in Pinkham Notch. Nothing like watching a bunch of people crazier than you hurling themselves down the base of the Presidential Range.
Tomorrow is the start of open-water fishing but there's lots of ice out there still. And you can still spot a pickup or two ON THE LAKES. Guys, beach those vehicles.
The deer are happy it's spring finally. If we would just leash our dogs, life would be just peachy:
I'm an ice-is-half-melted kind of guy so I'm getting ready for this weekend's New England Paddlesports Show. It's a good chance to drool over new kayaks and paddles and talk to other paddlers. Stay tuned for more info this week.
If the weather is too yucky for you to do any of this, there are other ways to enjoy the great outdoors while indoors:
