Comments
Comments: Great hikes with John C bagging #91 and #92. Followed ATV trails over the three bridges and left the trails for the herd path (stream bed?) just before the forth bridge. Herd path was well marked and in good condition once we headed up towards the summit. We followed "peppersass" (?) directions which were accurate. Great views from the tower today.

Long day hiking Elephant and Chain of Ponds (and driving from MA!).
