Lost and Found
Lost and Found: Found a large ring of car keys 100' below the summit...owner came barreling up for them and might have hugged us he was so happy we'd found them but we shook hands instead 
 
Comments
Comments: Lots of people on the trail but one in particular on his 48th with a goat friend riding along on his lapel for company...congratulations! Comprehensive views but too bad there were no blue skies or a more comfortable opportunity to photograph...dogs couldn't make the summit with the wind but waited patiently a bit below while we worked with cold fingers. Lovely easy path up and down. Another great day in the Whites. Kestrel data: T=24.5 W=35 WC=2F
