Out in force today - applied and re-applied bug spray to keep them at bay. Ticks were out in force at the summit, having to flick a number off my pants so keep an eye out. |

 | Comments: |
A great day - trails all in great shape, an easy hike to the summit on logging roads for the most part. dry trails except for a short stretch on the oak ridge cutoff where you will find some mud and running water. Cloudy skies broke perfectly when I was at the summits. Not the tallest peaks or hardest trails but some of the best views in New Hampshire. |
