Event has passed

LINCOLNVILLE — This coming Sunday, Oct. 22, weather permitting, Rosey Gerry will lead another hike to the top of Millerite Cliffs, at the end of Maiden Cliff Road, off Youngtown Road.

“On Oct. 22, 1844 a lot of Lincolnville and Camden residents hiked or rode their wagons up to this famous picnic spot to be caught up in the second coming,” said Gerry, in a news release. “If you google ‘The Great Disappointment’ and or William Miller you can read more about it. A lot of people have made this trek with me year after year and I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new.”

All are welcome. Please, if you bring your dog keep them on a leash.

Walk up takes about an hour, walk down about 40 mins.  The hike will proceed unless the rain turns to downpour. So bring a rain coat and dry boots just in case, as well as tick spray. Attendees may also want to bring a water bottle.

Meet at end of Maiden Cliff Road no later than 6:45 a.m.; the hike will start close to 7 a.m., or as soon as it’s light.

There is limited parking up at the end of the road. Parking attendants may be available to assist.

Please take care not to block driveways on last house plus entrance to fields.

“There is some parking along Maiden Cliff Road after turning around and headed out please park as far off road on right as possible,” said Gerry. “One side only.”

Also there will be some parking on Youngtown Road, at Judy Rollerson’s.
