 | Comments: |
On my to do list of obscure Ossipee peaks, I took a go at this today.
From where I parked, I walked the woods road a short distance to a clearing, then continued straight across onto an older road which immediately ended. From there, I bushwhacked up to the northern peak of Raccoon in mostly open woods with some minor thicker patches. Near the summit is a network of skid roads which I utilized. I wandered about a bit looking for the high point, which appears to be a small ledge, and is not recognized.
I had planned on heading to the southern peak, but the tick situation was crazy. So I headed back out, this time staying a bit further east in better woods, popping out at the clearing at the end of the woods road. |
