 | Lost and Found: |
I lost a pair of Native sunglasses somewhere between Mt. Carlo and Mahoosuc Notch! If ANYONE reads this report later on and finds them on the Mahoosuc Trail, PLEASE let me know! I loved those glasses, and I'm so bummed that I lost them along that ridge. |

We tagged Goose Eye as part of our single-day, winter Mahoosuc Traverse. I won't go into super detail here, as there is a link to my full trip report below, but I will say that the ENTIRE Mahoosuc Trail is now broken and packed out, so if there are any other crazies out there, it'll be much easier for you than it was for us. Take note that Success Pond Road is not an option if you want to hike Goose Eye right now, but I can't comment on the Wright Trail. |
