Comments
Comments: trails were wet and a bit slick, but otherwise in great shape. little mud and just generally well maintained.
good hike up to stratton. not much in the way of views from the firetower or the north peak due to clouds, but some limited views down to stratton pond and to local summits. managed to avoid any rain, but a few rumbles of thunder were starting to come through by early afternoon. once again a drive on vt. 100 shows some scary damage from last years storm. great to be out.
