Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: Caribou Pond Road is horrific. I have a lifted RAV4 with beefy tires. You have to be able to clear decent sized mud pits, 1 foot drops, and go over exposed plastic and metal culverts. Took half an hour to drive this road up to the yellow gate which leaves you a half mile hike in.  
Surface Conditions
Surface Conditions: Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable

Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Sugarloaf bridge is washed out and hanging on by a cable. Water was very high and brown. Not worth the risk of drowning so I doublebacked for the Crocker's. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Sugarloaf bridge is missing.

Comments
Comments: Hiked in the rain so trail was wet with standing water, but overall pretty well maintained with blow downs cut up etc. Bushwhack to Redington was doable with another person's company looking for pink property markers on the trees and decent Verizon service so I could check a map along the way. Pretty well beat down, but still a bushwhack.
