weather turned out not a good as originally thought but we did have nice views from Sugarloaf though high wind on it...trails in good shape mostly, some wetness and mud...met a couple of VT hikers doing the section from Rt. 4 to Rt. 27 backpacking, a good adventure and nice hiking with Fiddlehead and aspiring HPQueen!! |
