Hello,
I'm heading up to Roaring Brook on Sunday to climb Hamlin Peak and thus finish the Maine portion of the NE67. If time permits I'll go over to Baxter Peak too.
In any event, my girlfriend has expressed interest in accompanying me at least as far as Chimney Pond, but obviously I'd have to leave her there for 2.5 hours or so while I go up to Hamlin Peak and back (I'd skip Baxter if she were waiting for me).
She can bring a book or something to keep herself occupied, but what if the bugs are nasty? I guess that's my concern. I haven't seen any trail reports for up there recently (only Russell Pond from 7/4), so I was wondering if anyone had any recent experience.
Thanks
Chris
