A sub-par day for this loop of sorts. Ended up hitting Paugus for the heck of it, since I was hiking up that way to meet Ashley. We parted ways at Bee Line , and I finished off the rest of Bee Line, not bothering to hit the summit of Chocorua which was in the clouds. Finished off a few 'B' trails today! Any day out is better than a day in! |
