| Comments: |
Traditional start of 11 pushed back by 45 minutes due to incessant construction on Route 25. BEWARE!! Fine day for a hike and did not miss the business meeting I skipped out on. Very few people on the trails but a crowd at the summit including several thru hikers celebrating the Whites with 16oz PBRs..living large. Don't get up here enough on good days..very nice today. Carriage Road dry and good footing. Followed some flagging off it which became the old Snapper trail i guess which had gorgeous woods and a nice footbed. Great day to be out |
