Dog-Related Notes: Coop and Piper had a blast. Especially fun jumping in the pool of water in the mine to cool off from the unseasonably warm weather. Several smaller water crossings with flowing water for drinking, but additional water was needed for the doggos. Friendly greeting by Cartwright on the trail; chilled golden / german shepherd mix.

Comments
Comments: Quick hike to the fire tower remains, and on to the ledges. Little slippery on wet leaves, and some mud within the first 1/4 mile, but mostly avoided. Views of the clouds were all seen on this day. Seemed like it was going to blow off, but not quite. Trip down to the mine was OK, and quick.

Only others on the trail were couple from RI, up for a quick hike with pup.
