Good grief! I hope that water level comes down.. I need to cross Thoreau Falls from Shoal Pond Trail this Thursday!

I'm planning a trip that involves Hancock Notch, Shoal Pond, and Cedar Brook Trail on the week of May 16th. Are the rivers too swollen (Sawyer River coming down from Hancock especially) to cross? Thanks FR

Recently took a trip to Gray Knob and lost a thermarest (orange case) on the way down. Took Spur Trail to King Ravine to Lowe's Path. Believe to have lost on lower end of Lowe's Path or nearby the store. Please email if found, it would be greatly appreciated. ruckerz (at) psu (dot) edu

Man!! you are a lucky dog. I posted a trip report just six days earlier and all the northern presies were stuck in the clouds with hurrican force winds!! (Causing my group to abort adams and jefferson completely). I hope it's better this coming weekend because I'm going for another attempt.
