None - a little cool for them, high 50s. Did encounter black flies earlier in the day, at the Peak Above the Nubble trailhead (FR 304A, off Haystack Road). |
|
| Lost and Found: |
Picked up about 20 pieces of trash, mostly very small. Did remove an old glass jar and a very old sardine can -- complete with a key roller opening contraption, intact -- on the NE Cannon Ball summit. |

| Comments: |
Second of two NE 100 peaks today, PAtN being the first. Cool temps, high in the upper 50s, and cloudy, but a real nice day to bang these out. Trail conditions are real good, not overly wet. Snow and ice are all but gone, at least under 4000 feet. Saw remnants of a monorail at the col between Cannon and NE Cannon Ball, but it seems limited to that low point. |
