| Comments: |
The whole family got into the act today, including our family's two most recent additions, Lyla and Roy, who absolutely loved the deep mud holes. The kids enjoyed finding all the red leaves on the ground (which was surprisingly hard to do). Nice views to VT and Stratton Mt from High Blue. Also limited by impressive views to Mt. Monadnock from fields on the descent. |
