I'd love to hike north from Stratton Maine to Abol Bridge starting October 29th, but the hitch hike to avoid the kennebec looks pretty awful. What do people do when the ferry is closed and the water is cold enough so that fording becomes really really dumb?

Go south instead and maybe you can get a local from Caratunk to ferry you across. If you can't find someone, go home from there. Or skip the Bigelows and start at Caratunk. Or, carry a small inflatable raft :)
