We met up with Mr. Freeman and Owen about two miles from the trailhead and then I dropped off Maggie and the three of them continued on to camp and breakfast. Weather in the notch was cloudy but not rainy and the AMC weather report calls for summits in and out of the clouds and a chance of rain.
Mr. Freeman reported that all was well with the group - they had enjoyed a spicy Thai noodle dish last night for dinner called Gado Gado and were all in bed early. Apparently they experienced some rain after midnight but by then of course everyone was long since buttoned up in their tents for the night.
Like many groups Bondcliff has a conservative plan for the day. If weather holds they plan on crossing the Bonds - a lovely hike - to a shelter called Guyot Campsite. If all goes well the group will enjoy a rest day tomorrow at Guyot with a light day hike to a lookout. If the group can't make this section today then they can sit tight, eat and try again tomorrow.
On a side note if you see Mr. Freeman's water bottle apparently it's somewhere up the Lincoln Woods Trail... he lost it some time yesterday or today! Lucky I had a spare with me and could lend it to him for the week :)

He's always asking us (Iris, Sage and his wife) where his things are: sunglasses, water bottle, keys, etc. Looks like we can't help him this time. :( Thanks for the loaner Hans!
That's pretty funny :) I hope he doesn't loose anything else - though I suppose he doesn't need car keys for a while :)
Any news from Lincoln Woods ?
I haven't heard anything from them yet - which is actually a good sign, but if I do I'll post it right away!
