Redington, driving, and walking
Hey,
So, I hiked up Redington 6 days ago Saturday. Mohamed's directions are very good, and little has changed. When you get to the stack of aluminum piping and UPS packages, turn right.
I drove up CVR in my low clearance sedan, and parked just shy of the AT, when I encountered some deep potholes on the (far side) approach of one of the smaller bridges. High clearance vehicles can make it to the washout lot 1.1 miles beyond the AT, no problem. No one who was actively thinking would try to drive over the bridge beyond that lot.
The way I see it, Redington by this route is a walk on the road in the forest anyway, right? So, my walking from the AT just gave me a longer nice hike. Besides, it gave me a chance to check out sites for a future winter peakbagging snow camp. Wildlife sited on CVR included two whitetails and a great blue.
