Parking/Access Road Notes: Took Tim Pond Rd to Canada rd crossing bridge and driving along (unknown road) to White Cap / N Kennebago Divide access. A few mud puddles and pot holes but easily driveable.

Bugs: There were surprisingly few bugs out today.

Comments: Took a 4 wheeler road to the height of land on White Cap. The road was a river of calf deep water, standing water and mud. At the height of land we began a relatively easy bushwhack to the White Cap summit. Continued bushwhack North through thick spruce, open hardwoods and very thick spruce to the Manie - Canada boundary swath. Swath was extremely muddy through Denison Bog area then dried out for the ascent to Boundary / Panther peak. Returned the same way but descended into the col between White Cap and N Kennebago Divide and bushwhacked through pretty thick spruce scrub to the N Kennebago summit.

Encountered a strange group of hikers wearing bright hunter orange and Mexican sombrero's on the US / Canada boundary swath. It was surreal to find mexican immigrants defecting across the wrong border.

NEHH - #100!!!
