I met the nicest Irish wolfhound/Bernese mountain dog mix -- a "svelte" 150#! And there were a couple other very well behaved pups out having the time of their lives. |

 | Bugs: |
Not nearly as bad as I thought they'd be. There were black flies, but largely, they stayed out of sight. |

 | Comments: |
It was a fine day to be outside. Mud season is indeed in full swing, so step carefully. The view from the top was attenuated by clouds, but between the summit of Chocorua and the summit of Middle Sister, things cleared up enough to see a fair number of mountains. So if this happens to you, keep your chin up. Miracles happen.
Photos are on my blog. |
