Chose Polecat as we did not think we could cross the Cutler River at Glen Ellis Falls parking. There are no other river crossings. |

Rocket 21 described them in his report. On the last mile of Carter-Moriah trail, before Bangor Street TH, there are two maples across that need a chainsaw. They are, however, low to the ground and are easily stepped over |

Plenty of water for the dogs. Only problem would be the steep trail up or down North Carter. |

Met Jeremy on the way down from Wildcat A to Carter Notch. Also three through-hiker from North to South. One was from Alaska who started out from Quebec! Did not see many hikers on the trail until I started up Moriah. I guess that was the popular mountain of the day. From Middle Carter over to North Carter saw the first rime ice of the season.I was glad I had switched from my trail sneakers to three season leather boots |
