Current Snow Conditions at Hewes Brook Lodge

Did a Back-country run to the Allagash River on 3/17/13 the present snow conditions are firm with three feet on snow cover. We came out onto Big Brook which is about four hundred yards from the river and found a lot of slush there was no snow cover on the river and it was not safe to run. We did however have a great cook out with barbecue steak tips and hot chocolate . Overall had a great ride in the Back -country ending up at Red River and then back to Hewes Brook Lodge.Pics of trip will be forth coming! Phil
