I have been planning on hiking the long trail next week for months now. Was planning on on route 4 to rte 89 but I keep hearing about Ernesto. Any of you weather types out there have an idea of whether early next week is going to be a washout? All the so-called professionals seem to be stearing clear of a definite forecast, any hunches out there is az land?

I keep hearing about the storm going west of new england, anybody think it would make sense to hike saddleback, sugarloaf, bigelow area in maine rather than vt?

I have hiked in the rain many times, but a long distance hike in a monsoon doesnt sound like much fun. Worse case scenario I cancel the trip, go to work instead and get a ton of days in at kmart before new years.
