Lew Dow and I needed West Baldface, 2941' (NH200). We hiked south from Wild River Campground, and ascended Eagle Link a bit before beginning out whack. We hiked out via the Highwater Trail, hoping to avoid two big fords on the Wild River, but the water was running high today on the feeder streams and brooks, and we could not avoid having to ford today. And regarding the whack, "Got Hobblebush?!" |
