Beyond the main musical and partying attraction of the weekend, I am starting this thread for the posting of trips and activities that folks might want company with over the weekend.
I have not yet decided on what I am doing. Some options (which all include an optional stop at Sunday River Brewing)
Twist my arm and be willing to do some long car spots and I would be gladly guide a one day trip through Mahoosuc notch and a bushwhack out via Bull Branch road, included in the deal would be a dip in the headwaters of the Sunday river at the end of the day. Logistically its a PITA, but hiking wise its not a lot of an ascent and a long gradual descent. This requires a minimum of two cars.
Alternatively, its probably perfect timing for a hike up Andover White Cap for the views and to fill up on blueberries. Probably the best spot for blueberries in the area and the views cant be beat for the minimal effort. Also a good chance to check out the access to a major backcountry skiing spot. This is a short day up and down but I would like to spend a couple of hours on top filling up my pack with berries.
Another choice, the Baldpates via Frye Brook Trail. Nice gradual climb to great views.
I dont know the Grafton loop trail but there appears to be some great potential day hikes.
There are also a lot of great paddling along the Androscoggin in the area if anyone needs some recomendations. I will have a kayak or two but plan to use it Sat when I get back or Sunday AM.
