Amy- did that jaunt 1 year and 1 week ago. My advice:
1) Gallons of bug dope. Flocks of hungry skeeters the size of the ones I encountered in Alaska (like the bats in a Hunter S. Thompson hallucination)throughout the day
2) Be ready for numerous instances where a foot that is well intentioned to land on something solid falls 6-12 inches into a puddle unbeknownst to thine eyes due to waist deep grass and flag on the moose herd paths. The unnerving impact of the "step of faith" gets old, especially when you occasionally greet your thighs with mud
Overall though a fun day of Maine whackin', good views off Whitecap if you go past the spur herd path near the summit.
Have fun.

Thanks for the advice Damon, though I hope you haven't scared off my prospective companions! I, of course, am looking forward to seeing these bat-sized mosquitoes first-hand.

Hah! But for the importance of avoiding hubris, I'd say something about showing the little buggers why we're at the top of the food chain.
That thigh-deep mud doesn't sound very appealing, though. It might also be prudent to look up any Trip Report Raymond may have submitted - sounds like a cautionary tale.
