Terrific afternoon after a somber morning observing Memorial Day town services. Anyway, terrific views and a fun revisit of the herd path to Foss Peak (a sub peak of Mt Tecumseh, I believe). Absolutely amazing views from the multiple ledges. About halfway up, at the boggy sag, the path is somewhat difficult to find. Have to hook a left-hand turn right at the bog. That was the most difficult spot. Views on the return were just as amazing, as it was the first time I visited this herd path last year - REALLY fun!!! Don't take this herd path expecting it to be obvious, tho it is much of the way!!!! |
