Hope you have your snowshoes, still plenty of snow in the woods and this time of year its rotten. Postholing with snowshoes is about as bad as its gets.

Next week? It's not running that soon. Make sure you get something locked down before you get there. The two times I have been across it was walkable but this time of year that water has got to be brutally cold.

Sorry, my mistake. I meant heading out next week from Bradenton, FL, nobo. The weather this spring seems to be cold, lots of snow/rain. From what I've heard, lots of early starters have already gotten discouraged and lost interest. I'm pushing the envelope for a later start in hopes of avoiding those issues, and since my hammock is more susceptible to ambient air temps than a tent, which is much warmer, it makes me a bit more cautious. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the clarification. "Plan on snowshoes" is code for "are you out of your freaking mind to be hiking in Maine in April " :)
Have a fine time on your trip!
