Comments
Comments: We started off with no snow, and then patches of snow, and water and Mud, but evenually all snow. Some wore crampons to summit of Starr King, but I was able to bare boot to Starr King, but snowshoes a must to the summit of Waumbek. I saw some long lost friends that I had met on Owls Head in Feb. 2010, so hello to Charlie and Nancy. They were putting the "Best Foot" forward.
Thanks to those who joined me today, in finishing the Month of April for the GRID
