| Comments: |
The weather turned out to be much better than it could have been, making for decent viewing conditions and pretty comfortable hiking. On Mt. Blue, I found a herd path that was well defined, easy to follow if meandering, and mostly clear, though it wasn't the only one there. As a result, I was able to find my first "off trail" canister, which was really fun. |
