| Comments: |
Trails were damp this morning and wet again after an early afternoon storm. A few minor mud pits, but generally avoidable at present. Did a short bushwhack to the unmarked highpoint and from the lowest viewpoint of Webster Slide Mountain back to the ascent portion of the trail to avoid reclimbing to the summit.
Partly sunny and humid this morning (nice to sit in the sun on the Webster Slide summit and on the shore of the pond), however Mt. Mist turned into Mt. Downpour in early afternoon. Trails were rather quiet. |
