Comments
Comments: Dodged the rain again! Great hike of the Hancocks. Easy approach then a tough 0.7 up North. Easy traverse over to South where I stopped for coffee and a snack. I was joined by 2 gray jays who hung out and visited with me until I packed up and headed down.
I met some great folks on the trail, including bumping into one couple several times who had just finished their grid in May.
