I heard to expect 8" at Camel's Hump on Sunday (from Marc Howes.)

I'm planning either A & E or Camel's Hump Sunday... PM if you (or anyone) is interested.

HTH,
Tim

I talked with a friend from the Morrisville area this morning

they got 4-6 inches at 1500 feet but talk on the street is 10-12 above 3000 feet in the Mansfield Jay area anyway..

the hump won't be far behind

enjoy

Just letting you all know that Route 108 through Smugglers Notch is closed for the season.

We will reopen the road sometime in the spring when Mother Nature allows.

Does this preclude a gap-to-gap trip over Abraham & Ellen?

Thx,

It wouldn't preclude it, but does make it harder. Some people still go up to Lincoln Gap once the road is closed, but most start from the Lincoln side as the road is much less steep.

Personally, if I wanted both peaks when the Lincoln Gap road was closed I'd go up and back via the Jerusaleum Trail. Abe is not that far beyond Elllen, so an out & back is not an unreasonable day.

Tim-

A Gap to Gap would add about 2 miles of road walk to the hike, I think all downhill. I should add I don't know how far in the road is closed on the Westerly approach, maybe it gets you closer to the trailhead. The road closed sign is right beyond the driveway of the last house.

Doable, based on indivual fitness and desire to do so.

I was doing a solo out and back so for me the extra 4 miles was not gonna happen.

Another note- I went to Lincoln Gap Road via Warren Mt Road, it was slick overnight and the steep downhill into Warren in the dark was "interesting". Nothing happened, but as it gets colder and wetter through winter I would avoid this approach if possible, expecially before daylight.
