Semi Pemi Traverse Overnight this weekend

[albee]

Doing an overnight Pemi traverse with Kltilton this weekend. Any and all are welcome but the pace will be moderate (i.e. 25% faster than book time).

Starting around noontime Saturday at Zealand Rd/Rt 302. Taking Hale Brook trail up and over Hale, Lend-A-Hand trail over to Zealand hut (bushwhacking past the river if necessary). Zealand trail up to Zealand. Twinway over to Bondcliff trail, to Guyot Campsite for the night.

Sunday morning: Bondcliff trail to West Bond, Bond, Bondcliff, and out Wilderness Trail to Lincoln Woods.
12.5 miles on day 1, 12.1 miles on day 2. We're expecting 11 hours of hiking total, barring any flooded trails and difficult river crossings. Knock on wood.

Should be fun. Wish us luck!

Success

Had an amazing trip. Caught a sunset and a sunrise. Only saw 2 people during the entire trip (not including the 30 or so people at Zealand Falls Hut).

Trip report to follow.
