ATC confirmed the Hunt Trail is open
NOBOs finishing yet?
just wondering if any NOBOs summited and finished on opening day, like last year.
i have to wonder if there are even any in the state of maine yet. was in grafton notch sp over the weekend and no NOBO entries at the baldpate or speck pond lean-tos.
Rumor has it Warraghy started Sobo yesterday.
Hiked with warraghiyagey a bit back in 2007. Hope he has a great hike. I'll be heading out behind him in July. Hearing that the hunt is open makes me anxious to leave.

Nope. No northbounders were even in Monson on the 27th. Dawn at Shaw's was expecting more sectioneers though, she had half a dozen or so scattered around the Wilderness. There were six older gents at the Hard Drive Cafe in Greenville on their way down to Rebekah's at Lake Shore House to start a nobo through the Wilderness. Tim at the General is still throwing Friday night specials.
The new owners at Abol Bridge seem cool and hiker friendly. They're eagerly awaiting the first bubble. Master Cards and Visas accepted with a ten dollar minimum.
