Whoops! Busted.... Gorge Brook is correct...
Although we are a large group and there are a couple people who are in a lot better shape than the rest of us (an ex-eco challenge competitor among them) - so I'm thinking of suggesting they take the longer ridge trail/beaver brook up to the summit - give them more of a challenge and less time waiting for the slowpokes to get to the top
I looked at the lodging here - but needed something *bigger* - we have 11 people for the weekend. I managed to find a 4 bedroom condo (complete with fireplace, 2 TV VCR, sauna, jacuzzi, and access to indoor pool) in Lincoln. The once managed by the condo rental places were going for ~700, but this one is being rented out by private owners - so only $400+ tx!
Will report back on that (and the hike) once the weekend is over! Heck, with jacuzzi and fireplace, it'll probably take all of 3 raindrops to keep us from hiking! Hope I have a hike to report on.
