A couple of AT hikers are spending a couple days with some friends of mine after coming through the Mahoosucs. They are hiking with a young dog and some friends have joined them for a couple weeks. I guess the Mahoosucs did a number on the puppy and the friends so the thru-hikers would like to jump ahead to where the trail is a bit more user-friendly. They asked me where they should jump to. I've hiked the Mahoosuc section and Baxter, but only bits and pieces in between so I'm not sure what to tell them.
They said they don't mind a good stiff climb, but they'd like to avoid boulder fields (Mahoosuc Notch, anyone?) and steep, ledgey, hand-over-hand scrambling. I know many of you have hiked it all so I'm hoping you'll chime in. They are planning to get back on the trail tomorrow (Monday).
