 | Comments: |
Bushwhack to Reddington fairly easy to follow on herd path from the top of South Crocker (followed excellent description on Franklin Sites). Several blowdowns. Canister in good shape.Obvious herd path leading from Reddington down to Caribou Valley Road which 2 of us took, but added many miles. Rest of us went over to North Crocker and AT to ME 27. |
