| Comments: |
Nice soft footbed after being up in the Northerns yesterday. Pretty easy going to Unknown Pond with fairly quick ascent to summit. Trail across to Cabot had great footing with fine views and a bit of breeze at the Horn. Hot in places but a cool breeze in others. Bunnell Notch trail in great shape with only minor mud. Lots of wildflowers all along this route which combined with shade and a breeze in places made this a great choice today |
