How many NE100's betwn Cabot&Waumbek?

[beaner]

There are 4 3000footers on the Kilkenny ridge trail between Cabot and Waumbek. Do the 2 above 3800 qualify as part of the 100 highest in NE and does the Bulge also qualify? Thanks in advance. Sorry I'm such a dummy.

Let's see,

South Weeks - NE 3K
Middle Weeks - NE 100
North Weeks - NE 100
Terrace - NE 3K
Horn - NE 100
Bulge - I've seen different opinions whether it's a formal 100er. It wasn't in 1990 when I finished them. Seems way too easy to be!

Then there's Pliny, SE of Waumbek, that's an NE 3K.
Also Unknown Pond Peak, another NE 3K.
Then the Pilot/Hutchins range W of the Bulge...

The Bulge is indeed on my 100 Highest Check list issued last year.

ummm... the Weeks are nice and 'woodsy' and what not but when I did them last spring I couldn't really tell which was which... just a succession of bumps on the trail. Nice wildlife viewing potentional though.

I saw the rear end of a moose running away from Papabear and I as fast as it could go when we thruhiked the Kilkenny Ridge trail together last summer. I guess it was scared of us "city folks" , probably thought to itself - "there goes the neighborhood!"

All kidding aside, this is quite a nice trail which I would like to do again in the fall or winter.

What kind of circuitous route do you use to climb over the Horn to get from Cabot to Waumbek? Just what you wanted was a wise a$$!!!

A very nice one. Remember - you do have to get back down. Might as well go over the Horn(from one wise a$$ to the other )
