Comments
Comments: I led this as Meetup hike with three others, Elena, Dominic, and Mike. Originally we were going to do Paugus as well, but Dominic didn't have it in him, so we descended as a group down Old Mast Road. A cloudy morning gave way to bright sunshine in the afternoon. Questionable views from Hibbard, and questionable as to if we were even on Square Ledge, but we got some views either way. Met Hiker Ed in the lot, and had beers with him as he awaited Grid finisher #38, Mike Innis (sp?). Nice to see you again Ed, and a hearty congratulations to Mike for finishing your grid!
