Comments
Comments: Decided to hike Kearsarge North based on the forecast for showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Ran in to a brief light shower while on the ledges which made for some slippery footing.

The log book at the fire tower was missing. Rhodora was in bloom at the summit. Limited views due to the clouds. Many hikers on the trail today. No snow to be seen.
