Comments
Comments: NH300 peak.
Walked about 0.75 mile down the grassy road, which is the start of the Shelburne Trail. Bushwhacked southerly to the ridge, aiming to the east of the peak... to avoid the crappy drainage area. Then when we hit the ridge, followed it pretty much SW'ly to the summit. Woods were not too bad... and a great day was had with John M. and Lew D.
