Was really hoping to do the Bonds this weekend from Lincoln Woods but the East Branch Pemi is running pretty high and hasn't receded nearly as much as I would have hoped so far today. Are the four crossings on Black Brook generally difficult in warmer Winter season? Only been through there a few times in Summer and in very dry periods so not sure what to expect for those crossings in a "typical" early Spring scenario. I don't recall how thick the woods are and whether bushwhacking is an option. If it is tough going it will likely chew up too much time to reach Bond/West Bond/Bondcliff. Last trip report from Wed made conditions sound pretty ideal but that was before the temps and the rivers have risen.
In a related question, anyone know if/how much snow is left on Lincoln Woods Trail? Never got a chance to try the pulk I built this season so I was hoping to tie a test drive of the pulk in with my trip to the Bonds. I figure if I can at least get it to the point where the Wilderness Trail turns off the road grade and heads over to Black Brook that will cut almost half the mileage carrying a Winter pack off.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
