First , yes theres the lean-tos, then the weather, trails are light snow at the LOJ from what im reading to ice and snow at the peaks, 3rd, that trail up to algonquin is very steep and about 1.5 miles, then you still have to climb algonquin, so why this route with full packs,Just to camp??? Hmmmm, might as well drop pack and get iroquoius while at the junction . Check out the trip reports over on adkhighpeaks.com, as i think there are new TR and pictures.. last, conditions on top of algonquin , cold ,windy, all with full packs...just my thoughts...Why this route? found one: http://forums.adkhighpeaks.com/showthread.php?t=12976
