Wayne has been kind enough to indulge my new list of the 100 highest. I met him at the upper parking lot on Sawyer Road. We went over to Nancy Pond TH and went in from there.
We missed the Bemis exit and decided to go to a known quantity Nancy to get started. Trail to Nancy is easy to follow. We bushwhacked off the top of Nancy. Wayne remarking that we should stay left due to the cliffs in the middle of Bemis. It worked out pretty well. Then we came off Bemis heading back for top of Norcross Pond and it was tight. We also get sucked towards the cascades due to the drain-ages so you have to fight the urge to get pulled down. We picked the trail back to top of Norcross Pond got water and in my case some long pants on.
We did the same on Anderson stayed left and worked our way up the ridge and after a rough start caught some relatively open woods and moose game trails to the top. We found a descent trail off Anderson and staying left again managed to work around the bands of cliffs there.
The trek to Lowell was relatively straight on and we were fortunate to get the same open woods moose trampled conditions. The top was tight. Heading off Lowell we set a bearing to avoid the cliffs but had to adjust as the mountain seemed to be in a crescent shape. Wayne did a great job of getting us off in a constant downhill course and then sharply heading us left to get back to the trail between Lowell and Vos.
We had planned on heading up and over Vos, but I said "this is a win" lets get back to the truck. We got water across from the rock marker for the beginning of Vos and headed down to Sawyer Road. Great Day out, thanks to Wayne for putting up with my antiquated BW skills. |
