The trip over Wyatt hill like all modifications to the original AT were designed to make the trip longer and more difficult. Some of the turns in the AT make no sense. This cut off along the old logging access is wet for the upper 20% as it is in the lowest points between Webster slid and Wyatt Hill. The trail is used by hunters, and people fishing the pond as well as a few of us who camp regularly at the pond. It also provides a much easier trip into the pond from which going up Webster Slide is much easier for a day trip. - Camp Cook KenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347965268773187140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-7022200990111178872012-09-19T09:49:14.224-04:002012-09-19T09:49:14.224-04:00Thank you for taking time to post your very intere...Thank you for taking time to post your very interesting comments about your experiences with canoeing, fishing and camping at “Wachi”.

Any time (long or short) spent exploring in the woods is certainly an “okay day” from my perspective!<br /><br />Thank you for the positive feedback regarding the photos. Yup, I’m still “dating” my cute little Casio! I’m still not ready (yet) to settle into a long-term relationship, but who knows? It might just happen! :)<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-25814510630716489392012-04-04T17:33:54.042-04:002012-04-04T17:33:54.042-04:00Hi Mike,

It wasn’t enough to show up in a photo unless I would have done an extreme zoom shot. Regarding trail conditions, you might have read something similar. Regardless, just today I read a report (link below) which indicates that there is still some snow along the route to the top.<br />http://www.newenglandtrailconditions.com/nh/viewreport.php?entryid=8133<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-63279876872606590272012-04-04T17:12:53.673-04:002012-04-04T17:12:53.673-04:00LOL.

A day spent out exploring and enjoying the woods can't be all that bad, right? Is the new camera still being taken out for dates? Maybe it is my monitor, but the contrast of color in the photos is really good. The blue is really blue and everything just pops!Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-67925638324702714322012-04-04T16:44:36.568-04:002012-04-04T16:44:36.568-04:00Gorgeous.
