My section hike logistics just got shifted on me and I'm adjusting plans.
Is there any sort of flat spot that could accommodate a 2-person tarp between the Frye Notch and Hall Mtn. shelters? I'm willing to dry-camp if needed. I see reference to Dunn Falls, Surplus Pond and a gravel road that might be options. Knowing that the terrain is pretty rugged, with a lot of rocks and roots and underbrush, I'd prefer to have some confidence that I will be able to setup somewhere between these shelters. Otherwise, it looks as if I'll be stuck with a short 5.8-mile day, a long 16.3-mile day, or a hostel in Andover (is there one, and how easy is it to get into town?).
Similarly, is there anywhere to camp between South Arm Road and Bemis Mtn. Lean-to?
