Comments
Comments: We set off SE on an old logging cut, turned north on herd path and trough nice open woods following the ridge to the recognized high point of Mt Patience. We then set off NNW dropping down on an old woods road, herd paths and some trick brush to the cal on our way to Mt Metalak. After the cal we hit some nice open woods and a nice herd path that brought us just below the summit and back to nice open woods to recognized high point of Mt Metalak. Heading back to our car we hit the cal then dropped down to car and on the way, we came across lots of moose bones.

We jumped in the car and drove to bushwhack Mt Millsfield. This hike started off on old logging roads with lots of tall grass. We then jumped off started bushwhacking up some steep stuff hitting lots of hobble brush and blow downs. Things leveled off just before hitting the recognized high point and the windmills.
