Comments
Comments: Thank you to the Wonalacet trail maintainers for a great job!

Aside from expected hot & humid July weather we avoided and showers or t-storms predicted by NOAA.
Got some very welcome breezes on ledges and open tree areas and even saw a few cameo appearances
of that big glowing thing in the sky.

Was reminded how much I relished the now missing steel rungs on the upper ledge pitch of
Blueberry Ledge Trail some 31 years ago. Last hike to Whiteface was a summer some 6-7 years ago
on Flat Mtn and McCrillis trails which avoided this jungle gym. Still, this steep area is a very short scramble
and not that challenging in dry conditions.

Overall, another great day hiking in the mountains. Doesn't get any better.
