Beautiful mild day, bluebird skies, and great views for November.
Trail was good, small patches of ice and snow here and there, but no traction needed, ledges were dry and sun was quite warm.
About a dozen people out, with some going clockwise around the loop like us, about half going counter-clockwise.
A pleasure to cross paths with Randy and Shay, after seeing Randy's posts here for a while. Nice to put faces with names on the trails, and to give some doggy love to Shay.
Had lunch with some folks from Portland, ME, on top of Hedgehog, and crossed paths with some ladies from Moultonboro. Nice peeps out today, on a good day to play hooky from work. |
