    Caribou Valley (Pond) Road, ME conditions

    I have to say I was shocked seeing your Hyundai parked at the AT crossing when I opted to park my CR-V at the steel bridge. My buddy and I were just saying, "The only people who could make it to the AT are the folks in Jeeps and big trucks!" In hindsight the road was bad, certainly the worst...

    Terrible threesome

    Pretty dry conditions I was there Monday before the rains. The trail to Bardley Pond was as dry as I have ever seen it. Still lots of mud but stiff mud in many spots, though there is still lots of standing water on the way to Bradley Pond. The herdpaths to Times Square and the peaks were...

    Porter and Cascade from Marcy Field

    Planning to do this hike soon and was wondering if anyone has taken this route recently or seen cars at the trailhead. I haven't seen any posts this winter for this route (unbroken :confused: ) and I'm curious on what to expect for trail conditions. Thanks

    Seymour during open road season?

    12/30 works for me. I don't have a 4WD vehicle so I am dependent upon one who does to take advantage of the open gate. I'll see you tomorrow, maybe we can finalize details on the trail. Rick

    seward range dec. 22 ?

    Pvon & 12/22 group I've been able to shuffle my plans. Count me in for Monday. I wonder if we might be able to convince Junior to go for Seymour on 12/27 as well. With the road open, an almost perfect track to Emmons, and tracks halfway to Seward, it may be a quick day for Pinpin. I'd...

    Seymour during open road season?

    I (Rick) was thinking the exact same thing. As far as dates, I'm available all next week except Monday (12/27). I was part of the group that made Donaldson and Emmons on 12/22, but couldn't quite manage Seward. The open gate is all the motivation I ned to get back in there and finish this...

    seward range dec. 22 ?

    Thanks for a fun hike on 12/22. The company was great and I'd be happy to meet up with the group again to finish off Seward. I'm (Rick) available any day next week, except Monday. I'd really like to finish off the last bit to Seward and also get back in for Seymour before the gate closes...
