We attempted to get Owl's Head. But the storms that rolled through early Thursday morning over night dumped 3 to 4 inches of rain in a short amount of time. It made crossing Lincoln Brook pretty much impossible and not a great idea. we made it all the way out to the one and only crossing of Lincoln Brook and decided it was a no go. The blood suckers were out in force along the Black Pond Trail and Bushwhack. The muddy section after Black Pond was manageable and not as bad as it has been made out to be. Black Pond Bushwhack ( if you want to call it that haha) was easy to navigate and a pleasure. Lincoln Brook Trail was in good shape with a couple rough sections. It was fun watching the raging water on the way out and back. We were so close but decided it was just to much for us to handle. At 6 am the East Branch of the Pemi was at 3000 cfs. Will try again in the summer. if we get a long dry spell may just forge the Pemi or just come in from Galehead. |
