Comments
Comments: Fun day zig zagging my way up the mountain.

I managed not to meet anyone on the trails only on the summit and on the Old Toll Road. One young man and his friends from a town at the bottom of the mountain annouced to me it was his birthday and his first time up Monadnock. Another women with a small child asked me if she was almost there yet and I replied almost to the Halfway house site. Monanadnock is a real mountain and we are lucky to have the mountain and the so much of the surrounding property protected. Thank you Charlie Royce and many others.
