Abstract

"News" piece on the New Year's tradition of standing in line in Millinocket for a summer camping reservation at Baxter State Park. Last year, the early birds arrived 64 hours before the books opened. This year, it was expected to be even earlier. The park authority now has a Web site and though it doesn't allow online registrations, it posts the rules so camp-site seekers can at least arrive prepared. Buzz Caverly, the park's director, said more controversial modernizations, such as a preference system for in-state residents and a lottery system, will soon be pushed with greater urgency.
