May 19, 20, & 21 Maine NE4k & NEHH Peaks

[BIGEarl]

With a little cooperation from the Weather Gods, the plan is for a three-day weekend in Maine. Three NE4K peaks and two NEHH peaks.

May 19 – Saddleback (NE4K)/The Horn (NE4K)

Plan to skip the high water crossings and mud by hiking from the Ski Area. On-trail at 10:00am.


May 20 – Baldpate (NEHH), and hopefully Old Speck (NE4K)

Hike from the trailhead on Route 26 – Grafton Notch, out and back. If time permits, cross the road and head for Old Speck.
Meet at 8:00am.


May 21 – Goose Eye (NEHH) & Carlo

Hike from the trailhead parking for Goose Eye Trail on Success Pond Road. Plan to hike a clockwise loop. Meet at 9:00am, on trail soon after.

All are welcome to join in. Email or PM with any questions.

Edit follows:

Success Pond Road is a private road owned by a fellow named Tom Dillon. I was told it would not be a good idea to call Mr. Dillon for road status information.

I have been in contact with among others the AMC-PNVC, City of Berlin, and representatives of Frasier Paper (the mill has closed but there is still a staff on site). The folks at Frasier paper said the Success Pond Road is open and passable.

It is also currently raining there.

Hi BIGearl,
Are you still planning to hike Maine this weekend (May 19 - 21)? If so, maybe I could tag along on your Saturday trip? Unfortunately, that is the only day I can hike.

sal,

Because of conditions beyond my control that surfaced yesterday I will be unable to hike this weekend. Most likely not for some time. I am hopeful the current distraction will be resolved quickly allowing my routine to get back to normal.
