| Comments: |
Went to just before end of Porter Brook rd and took road North. This drops you just shy of the boundary swath. Followed the ATV path along the boundary swath to Boundary Peak. Bushwhacked to White Cap. Relatively open with some thicker sections approaching summit. Whacked into the col and up N Kennebago, eventually finding the herd path. Followed the herd path back down which drops you right back on Porter Brook Rd. weather was amazing today. Lots of gorgeous views. Saw eleven moose on drive out including some near Rangely. Unfortunately I hit one on Rt 4. Neither one of us was very happy about it. |
