Parked at Great Gulf TH and headed up Route 16 toward 19 Mile Brook at 4:40 am in order to beat the predicted heat this day, so didn't see anyone until after Zeta Pass. Saw 15 hikers total today.
The grouchy grouse is still out there guarding his domain. We did not encounter him but met hikers who did. Reportedly he has moved a little north on the C-M Trail, nearer North Carter Trail now. We did meet another male grouse (a brother? haha) on Mt Hight who circled and followed us a ways to the summit.
Upper half of North Carter Trail was wet, wet, wet with lots of rocks. We much prefer this trail when it's buried in snow and vow not to do it again until that time!
89 Degrees when we finished--jumped into Peabody River! Yeah!!
