We didn't have much trouble a couple years ago when Susan and I were there. My Trail Conditions report probably disappeared, but let me try to remember what we did...
We went from South Crocker's summit. There was a herd path behind the summit rock, more or less, that led to a narrow cut path (marked with yellow paint, I believe) that denotes the edge of the Appalachian Trail corridor. I believe the herd path continued straight across this border; don't try to follow the cut path.
There was some flagging back in there. Every now and then the herd path petered out, but one of us would look for it while the other held the last known position. The path is probably more distinct now.
The only confusing part was when we came to a large clearing. Susan was the one who spotted a survey ribbon way up to the left, and sure enough, there we found the path again. However, it disappeared again and we had to just bull our way ahead until we came to a logging road.
If memory serves, we turned right on the road and went a short way until we found a cairn on the left side which marked a trail up to the summit. There was a white canister in a tree.
I think we followed the same trail down to the road, but instead of trying to follow the herd path back to South Crocker, we turned right onto the road (heading east) and followed it down to another road. We came to a T and mistakenly turned left and went a long way before giving up and retracing our steps to that point. We should have turned RIGHT, apparently away from our car which was back near the Appalachian Trail crossing on Caribou Valley Road. See Mohamed's Web site for directions to Redington from Caribou Valley Road, then reverse them; this is what we did, except that I'd stupidly left Mohamed's directions back in the car, so I had to do it from memory. Luckily I'd read them over several times!
If you turn the right way, you'll go down a rough logging road that is probably covered with ATV tracks. It will bring you down to another T where you can turn left and get back to Caribou Valley Road. I can't remember how many intersections there were, but it was straightforward once we got going the correct way. Supposedly people can drive way up there, but there was one wood bridge that was barely holding on, and I recall a small boulder right in the middle of the road somewhere else, which seemed pretty impassable to me.
I think Papa Bear had a good description of the way; you can probably get more explicit directions off his Web site than I can provide.
I'm afraid our hike there was pre-digital camera for me, so I don't have any photos to include here.
