Comments
Comments: This is the second time I have ventured out here. The first time was Black Friday almost two years ago and I had a snack on Jennings. I did not make it to the Dome that time. Today I made it all the way to the Dome and enjoyed it. I took Sandwich Mountain up and Drake's Brook Down... also my favorite loop. I fastpacked this 8 mile loop in 3:33 and got out just as all the people came in. Lot was filled with overflow when I left!
