Hubbard Brook bushwhack 7/22

[Barbarossa]

Who doesn't want to go bushwhacking on a Friday? I am going to the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is SE of Moosilauke, near Thornton. On the itinerary are Green Mtn (2762) and Mt Cushman (3221).

Any interested parties?

Saturday is a day in the flatland for me, but thanks for the invite. We'll catch up to another at some point.

Barb, I've done it from both directions, and from 118 is bad, thick and blowdowns all the way along. From the forest road it's basically a walk in open woods. What's great is the the forest road ends right at the base of the peak, the register is just before you hit the blowdowns on the summit ridge.

It looks like I will be the first to try this route since Bruce the Moose did it back in October. ;]

I'll let you know how it ends.

Cushman is a nasty peak

Thick on top. With many multistory blowdowns; and some really interesting rocks with holes around them. let us know how you made out.
