 | Comments: |
Karine and I decided to see other mountains today and give ourselves a challenge by doing a double traverse of the Squam Range. This is a great hike. The only time we saw people was around Morgan and Percival and then again at the end on Livermore and Cotton. It was nice to meet Sandra and Clay, thank you for the levity. No, that wasn't me on Adams yesterday:-). It was great to hike with Karine and accomplish such a great day. |
