Five in our crew, in on 5/3, established campsite off trail. Up to Sandwich in... off and on drizzle. Micro spikes a big help above 2700 or so. High clouds afforded nice views over into Waterville Valley and the Presidential range off to the North. Two in group walked to Jennings, got good views. While the rest of the group back to camp to "tarp up" for pending rain. Nice walk out on 5/4 after a festive Saturday night at camp! So, so many laughs, fantastic group to hang with out on this adventure! |
