Good to know about Sunday River, I had wondered about the berries there. I ended up hiking the Baldface Loop yesterday, the blueberry crop was alright, but it was still too early. Some lower patches near the tree line were nice and ripe though and I managed to get a bit over a quart. There were...

I would have to agree, difficult to get much hiking done when you are trying to pick berries. But, the temptation to do both is too great, and now that I have my sights on finally doing the Baldface Loop I can't seem to talk myself out of it, so we are going to try to do the Baldface Loop on...
