Comments
Comments: The weather forecast was promising but clouds lingered and stayed all day and we were rained on lightly while inside the cloud on the summit of Passaconaway. Wind was blowing too! Did a loop to get all of Oliverian Brook and Squeare Ledge and that meant going up Sq L Branch twice. Bushwhacked on Square Ledge and just saw clouds :( Went on up to Passaconaway's summit just for fun and did the summit loop counter clockwise, saw about a dozen people on summit and on Rollins Trail. Pretty much had the trails to ourselves. Pretty day in woods, trees are turning and enjoyed all the erractics--big rock rule.
