A few stepovers. One section of trail between Carter Dome and Mt. Hight was quite a mud hole...I got around it but it was tight. A few minor patches of snow-ice but no need to carry traction. |

| Bugs: |
Much to my surprise the black flies weren't a problem...just a few here and there. A few mosquitos but never had to apply bug dope. Strong breeze on top no doubt helped. |

Stopped at Carter Notch Hut to check it out. The crew was busy getting things ready for the week-end. Nice bunch of youngsters...enjoyed chatting with them. Saw moose just below junction of Carter Dome Trail on 19 Mile. Disappeared into the brush. Very few hikers in area. Group of 3 came in to Mt. Hight while I was there. I spent about an hour on Hight enjoying my new Scudder's Viewing Guide! |
