Winds on Washington today lead me to Owls Head. Cool 13F at the trailhead this morning but 32F when we finished. Did the Black Pond and Brutus bushwhacks. Chose a better route on the way out than on the way in. Save the GPS track! Made it in and out without headlamps so it was a good day. Seems lots of others had the same idea today. Ran into 3 other who followed Bruce and I up the Brutus and a large group heading up as we were heading down. Great day in the Whites! |
