Your best bet would probably be to get in touch with the Appalachian
Mountain Club (AMC) at 5 Joy Street in Boston.  They also have chapters
in Jersey, so you might try your local phon book also.  The AMC has a
small summer resort on Mount Desert Island so they are quite knowledgable
about the area.  You might try contacting Pete Madeira at the Boston office.
He ran the Mt. Desert Island camp for several years and still visits the
area quite often.  Please say hello from me if you talk to him.  Good luck,
it's a great place to visit.
