Thanksgiving Potluck BACKPACKING - Easy - Harriman

Hey Guys!

We all know we are going to have WAY too many leftovers this coming Thursday so instead of throwing it away for forgetting about in your fridge, why dont we all enjoy a night out together and have a feast out on the woods!

Come join us for an easy overnight in Harriman State Park where we will enjoy all different foods, tastes and treats from all around the world. Everyone joining is expected to bring atleast 1 item to share with the group. This could be a main dish like Turkey or a side like stuffing, green beans or as simple a desert (brownies, cookies, fruit etc.) or even a snack!

This is carry in carry out event and an overnight backpacking trip. Do not bring glass items, heavy plates etc. Everyone joining should bring their own plates and utensils like usual for any backpacking trip.

A trash bag is needed to to store your items, we will hang our food at night. Absolutely no fresh food at night after we are all done eating

We will have a fire going throughout the evening for cooking, reheating and enjoyment.

The hike in is very easy with no major hills or climbs just a smooth road walk up to camping area. We will all eventually meet that Dutch Doctor lean-to around 1:00pm or later. If you arriving late in the evening please reach out or comment below. Main parking lot with be Johnsontown circle, which can fill up quickly on nice days. Alternate lots are Lake Sebago Boat Launch or rt. 106 Victory Trail (a much longer hike to Dutch Doctor)

Beginner backpackers are welcome but this is not a beginners trip so ensure to check weather before heading out and ensure you have all gear necessary to be comfortable in worst case 20*f temperatures. Only rain will cancel this trip.

Well mannered kids and dogs are welcome on this trip but please reach first if you are unsure.

Any questions ask below!

Thank you and Gobble Gobble
