 | Comments: |
What a day! The weather started out cool and high clouds and improved all day. Views were far and wide and blue skies welcomed us on South Twin. We took our time and spent good time on all the outlooks and summits. Golfing gals Sharon and Sarah really were certainly scratch hikers again today. Lots of people on South Twin, thru hikers and happy camper pemi-looping folks. It wasn't hard talking a gal and her dog into bagging North Twin after she had visited the summits of Galehead and South Twin and her goal was only Galehead. Swell time had by all.
