 | Comments: |
Trails were wet from the intense rain midday, but starting to dry thanks to clearing skies and strong wind. Temperatures were in the 60s prior to sunset. Some areas of minor mud, as well as running water. Lots of wet ledge.
Strong wind gusts on the fire tower at sunset. Nice display. Mt. Washington view cleared around this time.
Nice jog out in the dark on the gated Carriage Road. |
