So our group came to a conclusion of what we are going to do and all the pieces are coming together wonderfully for the most part. We are planning to go up to moose head lake with some canoes and outdoor gear to paddle, see some nature and just generally test our physical limitations in the colder weather. It is sure to be an adventure getting to such a secluded large lake in the first place let alone staying there for a weekend. This trip does add to several safety concerns however that we must be worried about. To me these concerns add to the trip as long as everyone cautious and down to earth about the true risks at hand. We are planning to start our trip by driving from UNH to moose head lake in Maine on Friday night the 14Th of November. The drive should be 4-5 hours so we will be arriving late. So by the time we set ourselves up in the cabin. get some food and prep for our next day it will be time for bed. Saturday is going to be our paddle day. We will paddle from Tom Headen Point to Sociation Bay. 
This bay is notorious for its nature and wildlife so we plan on hanging out on the shores for a while to take it all in. From there we will continue our paddle to Farmers island where we will be making ourselves a hot lunch. After that we will complete the triangle and head back to Tom Headen point where our cabin is. From there we will be able to debrief on the day play some card games eat dinner, hang out and relax. On Sunday we are going to be getting transportation by to Mt Kineo. We plan on summiting this mountain and then continuing on the nature walk down and around the other side to pebble beach. We will then get transportation back to our car and head back to UNH. The trip details are coming together very well. The group seems to all be generally excited about this trip. However it is frustrating to see only a few people come to the last couple meetings. This is something we are working through and I'm sure will be fixed soon. So now that we have gotten this all figured out here is the rest of our to do list:
