Fri 9/30/05 -- either Cabot, or Moriah + Shelburne M.

Looking at possibly taking the day off Friday for a hat-trick hiking wkend (some shorter stuff already planned for Sat/Sun).

(A) If the weather is sunny or cloudy w/ unlikely chance of rain, I'd like to hike Shelburne Moriah and Moriah. (12.8mi via Carter-Moriah Tr, Kenduskeag Tr, Rattle River Tr, car spot req'd)

(B) If the weather is iffy but tolerable, I'm probably going to attempt Cabot via Bulge/Horn/Unknown Pond/Mill Brook trailhead. (about 12mi including The Horn, 0.5? mi less if weather suggests skipping it)

(C) If the weather is bad I'll be at work and sulk.

Right now the forecast seems to indicate (B), but who knows with this crazy weather pattern.

Any takers? if so, email/PM me by Weds evening.

Weather outlook seems to have improved for Friday as well as the weekend.

I would like to go with (A) (the Moriahs), and save Cabot peakbagging for another time. Exact route is subject to responses to my ice/ledges question.

Expect some botany delays, so I'd like to get started by 9am at the latest.
