RANGELEY — Summer is here and it’s time to get outdoors and enjoy the many great trails of the High Peaks and Rangeley Lakes region. As a special event this year, the High Peaks Alliance is hosting an All Trails Celebration in Rangeley the weekend of June 25 and 26. The term “All Trails” recognizes the broad variety of trails and how they are used in the High Peaks and Rangeley Lakes region.
The celebration will kick off Saturday with a dedication of the state’s newest multi-use trail corridor, the “West Saddleback Connector.” The dedication ceremony will feature United States Sen. Susan Collins and Maine Conservation Commissioner Bill Beardsley. Dedication participants will include the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, ATV-Maine and the local trail groups who worked to create the trail. A public reception will follow the ceremony. In addition, all the latest information on High Peaks and Rangeley Lakes area trails will be available, with trail guides on hand to answer questions and make suggestions for your next trail adventure. These events will be held June 25 at the classic Country Club Inn (off Route 4 via Mingo Springs or Proctor roads) beginning at 1 p.m. The ceremony will take place from 2 to 3:15 p.m.
On both Saturday and Sunday, area trail club guides will provide group walks, hikes, ATV rides, bike rides and paddling on nearby land and water trails. Scheduled guided hiking and ATV tours of the new West Saddleback Connector will be offered. Those interested in participating should sign up Saturday for these tours, as space will be limited.
Rangeley is a gateway to many of the best backcountry trails in Maine, including the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, the new Moose Loop ATV Trail System, the unique Northern Forest Canoe Trail, the Fly Rod Crosby Trail, local walking paths and many more.

When is an exchange not a market
Markets don't exist until they have a set of enforceable rules by which economic exchanges can proceed by mutual agreement. That requires government. Private property does not exist until you have government which can maintain your pseudo-exclusive use of some object. Even societies so simple as being just family units or extended family units have complex rules for the exchange of goods, services and the enforcement of exclusivity. Money is an attempt to objectify a subjective judgements - the utility of some object or set of objecs to the two folks involved in an exchange. To the degree that it works we have stable economic systems.
Think about no space. I don't mean empty space. I mean no space at all. Not a point with no dimensions because we always imagine a point has having dimensions. The human brain by the nature of its construction and evolution demands that all things have space. The house of cards is the same thing. People by the nature of their development need "rock solid" foundations which they can trust. But rocks are anything but solid. Just look at the problems of Frackling. Our minds demand safety, stability, soundness, cause and effect, even if there is none. Hell we invented God for just such a purpose. The house of cards is the gold standard and I am fully aware how unstable, risky, dangerous this world and current circumstances really are.
All rests solely on the rules we have agreed to; our continued understanding of those rules; and our ability to adapt them to new circumstances.
Have yourself a wonderful day. Its been a pleasure.
