I'm going to be climbing some peaks in Washington and Hancock Counties in Maine in a couple of weeks. If anyone knows anything about these, trails, parking, etc. please let me know.
1) Pigeon Hill - on the coast on Map 16 of DeLorme, which shows a dotted line from the NE. Google shows a "road" from the northwest.
2) Burke Hill - near Cherryfield, Map 25, between Rte 182 and Unionville Rd.
3) Tunk Hill - between Franklin and Cherryfield, also Map 25, north of 182. Some logging roads shown DeLorme looping around from the west.
4) Lead Mtn. aka Humpback - north of Rte 9 about 25 miles east of Bangor where Rte 193 turns off 9. DeLorme Map 24-25 shows logging road and trail from the southeast (also Topo map shows same). There is (was?) a tower on this peak.
Ooops, almost forgot. Any reasonable place to stay in Cherryfield or in the general area.
As usual, thanks for any help.
