Coburn Mountain (ME) access

[el-bagr]

From the Morning Sentinel online:
The State of Maine is considering a move to secure hiker (and skier) access to 3720' Coburn Mountain, one of the NEFF and a north-woods gem. Part of the project involves securing a more formal right to cross Plum Creek land, while part of it involves fixing the road that turned PB and Spencer back in May.

Ah, that dirt road's a piece o' cake. (So long as you don't mind feathering your clutch as you gingerly crab over large waterbars...)
Actually, I kind of enjoy the sound of rocks and gravel grinding against the floorboards....
I was able to drive to the Snowmobile trailhead without ruining the exhaust or front suspension... with my 2wd Jap sedan....

When was that Bigmoose?

When PB and I were there in May, there was one stream crossing that was a mess. We probably could have made it with my truck (i.e. clearance) but after our day wasted with the mud-sucking, I wasn't in the mood to get stranded again.
