(and bug-free i hope too).
has anyone parked on east street/mt washington road and taken the old northwest road back up to the trail at sages? how reliable/safe/legal is that lot/route for a multi-day? this could shave some repeat hiking for us on the next section, but im actually looking forward to checking out paradise lane/undermountain on the way back this time!
