Beautiful undercast on Waumbek on a bluebird day. Saw 10 other people on a Wednesday in November. Everyone had the same idea with the weather getting squirrely in the next few days. The trail where it traverses the west side of the ridge was icy this morning, with both sheets and overnight ice from trees dropping down. Once the sun hit it, it melted a bit. Trail was smooth-going for the most part, but that will probably change in the next few days. |
