Another big trip, another laundry list of questions ...
Here's the short (ha!) list of questions for my upcoming peakfest.
Trails related:
Backpack from Rattle River TH to 19 Mile over Moriahs-Wildcats. 2 Nights.
1. Approximate last water on Rattle River or on the Kundeskeag toward Shelburne Moriah (I am sidetripping over to Shelburne-Moriah, so need a little extra water)
2. Should the brook on the Carter-Moriah Trail past the Imp Site Spur be good for water? Is there other water on the C-M trail before the climb toward the Carters?
3. Camping options other than the Imp Site? (Feel free to PM me if you don't want to disclose anything here) Before or After Imp? It looks like my partner is bailing so I will only need a solo space.
4. Imp Mountain? Worth checking out?
5. Water after Imp?
6. I've heard there are possible camping spots around Carter Notch near the end of 19 Mile before, and on Wildcat River after the Notch. Does that sound right?
7. Water up on the Wildcats? I will go light and fast from the Notch over to D and back.
8. Special sights and highlights to look out for?
Backpack from Oliverian Brook TH around the horn to Sabbaday Brook TH. One Night.
1. Last Water on the Passaconaway Cutoff and Square Ledge trails? It appears there might be some around the junction of the two?
2. Camp Rich the last water (going over Whiteface, and South Peak) until Downes Brook?
3. Camping spots near Downes Brook? Anything before of after? Again, room for a solo spot most likely.
4. Water after Downes Brook, going over the Sleepers and across to North Tri? Will first water be on the Sabbaday Brook Trail?
5. Any good swimming holes near the Sabbaday TH for after the hike?
Bike questions. Traffic, road condition, blind spots, etc.?
1. How's the road from Ammo TH down to the Jackson Webster TH? (Doing a Southern Pressies loop.)
2. Route 16 from Nineteen Mile back to Rattle River?
3. Sabbaday back to Oliverian. (This looks the most straight forward)
Other stuff:
1. Does Gorham have any internet access cafes?
2. I hear the Wildcat Inn Tavern is pretty good? Any other options as I head down 16 to the 302 and then Bear Notch to the Kanc?
That's about it! Feel free to answer any questions or add any thoughts.
Thanks,
Sean
