Awesome day to do Old Speck. Temps in the 70's when we started at 10am. Some welcome breezes once we got above the Eyebrow, and fantastic views all around once we got to the summit, with bright sunshine and temps in the low 60's. Most of the rocks and roots were damp from the previous nights rain, but all in all they weren't too bad. Fantastic day to be out! |
