Now that the plane is fixed, I’m looking for a good time to fly to Millinocket and then around Katahdin. I’d like to get some more images of Katahdin, but now that I know a little more about the geology of the region I’d like to get some shots of Traveler Mountain as well.
So why stop at Millinocket? The GoPro batteries can not tolerate the cold flying from Brunswick to Katahdin. So I’ll land at Millinocket, put the warm batteries in, then fly around the mountain. The GoPro 8 battery will probably fail after 10 minutes but the GP 9 enhanced battery may continue to roll. I’d sure like to find a real camera that is both affordable and can tolerate cold weather.
Stopping at Millinocket will also let me visit the Baxter State Park HQ. It is only a few blocks from the airport.
But the biggest problem is finding a weather window in January that is good for both southern and northern Maine. I need clear skies to the surface and fairly calm winds. Good luck with that.
