Hiking Iceland!

It's Wednesday. Hump day.

Temps in the single digits. Tonight maybe -10F.

Balmy.

What better way to enjoy this lovely frigid weather than by huddling up with 150 or so warm and fuzzy outdoorsies for the monthly Maine Outdoor Adventure Club meeting in Portland!

The program?

Appropriately enough: Iceland!

Yes, join veteran MOACer Sandie Sabaka of Portland, and and take a summer solstice trek to Iceland on the Laugavegur "Hot Spring Route," go kayaking in Seydisfjordur, and backpack through Jokulsargljufur Park, home to Europe's largest waterfall.

Next up is trip planning for the remainder of winter, then spring and summer. No doubt you'll find an outing or two that interests you; a hike, mountain bike, kayak, raft or canoe trip perhaps.

Conclude the evening with socializing and getting to know a whole host of fun and active outdoor (and indoor!) enthusiasts.

And wrap up the night with "the meeting after the meeting" at the Great Lost Bear, where further adventures are planned and mapped out on the back of cocktail napkins while enjoying a frosty adult beverage or two.

Doesn't sound like much fun at all, does it?

Nah.

Think I'll skip it, stay home onn the couch and watch Wheel of Fortune...

MOAC meetings begin at 7PM. It's free and open to the general public (that's you!).

Enjoy!
