Good Morning on Day 3

Here's a recap of what I know about the various groups.  If I haven't heard from someone the information below is based on their written route plan:
  • Bondcliff - Saw them yesterday morning, should have crossed the Bonds yesterday and will be enjoying a rest day today possibly with a day hike.
  • Beaver Brook - Saw them last night, they have a short day today to a camp site by a nice pond, cool and dry last night with no bugs
  • Pemi-Baker - Heard from them last night, they have a long paddle planned today, big event of the day should be when Baker joins Pemi River and the end of any strainers in the water.
  • Gilman's Corner - They should have a short day as well, they might cross paths with the Beaver Brook crew, they are gearing up for their big day tomorrow over Mt. Moosilauke
  • Lincoln Woods - Haven't heard anything from this crew which means they are probably on track for their big day today down into Franconia Notch and back up to Kinsman Pond... big day.
  • Reel Brook - Spotted yesterday by our photographer Clay, should be on track to do the same hike as Lincoln Woods but in the opposite direction, down from Kinsman Pond and back up the other side of the valley.
  • Gordon Pond - Camped low last night so today they will face the steep climb up out of Kinsman Notch fresh and (hopefully) in relatively good weather.  I'm not sure if they will call that a day, or if they will day hike after that?  Time will tell!
Hope everyone is having a good morning back at home!  Thanks to a parent for the quote of the day in the left sidebar.  If anyone else has a good quote please leave it in the comments or send it along by email!
