[at-l] mahoosuc notch

[blisterfree at isp01.net (Brett)]

Northbounders looking to avoid the Notch can turn left at 
the junction after descending from Fulling Mill Mountain and 
take the trail about 2-3 miles north to Success Pond Road, 
which is an east-west tote road running between the city of 
Berlin NH in the west and Highway 26 in Maine to the east. 
Following Success Pond Road for about 5 miles east, one 
reaches Highway 26 about 1 mile north of Grafton Notch. Walk 
south on Hwy 26 to Grafton Notch and the AT crossing.

Above mileages are an approximation only. In any case, for 
the non-purist, it's an option that involves a few extra 
miles, but using it would probably take less time to reach 
Grafton than would a hiker who'd stuck with the Trail 
through here.  (I'm not advocating this particular blue 
blaze. The AT in Maine is Wonderful. But it can also 
sometimes be problematic. Having options never hurts.)
