Comments
Comments: Went in at about .5 mile from parking. I followed my bearing and went
up thru several spruce bands. Woods opened up further up and I started
seeing bits of herd paths. Got thru one last spruce band near the summit
and hit a herd path right to the canister. It's easy to move around top
with views to Grafton Notch. Followed herd path down, lost it in blowdown
and then found skidder road that I was looking for on way up which made
the descent easier.
