Comments
Comments: A rainy day is always a good day for Starr King / Waumbek. I briefly worried that I would ruin my perfect 7 for 7 streak of having absolutely no views from Starr King, but happily that viewpoint was mostly/completely socked in both times that I passed by. The highlight of the day was seeing BlueCollar4Hiker and having a chat!!
