 | Comments: |
Walking the road brought me a fair distance towards my objective. At a clearing where the road seemed to continue, but was not directionally useful, I began following clear-cuts south. I used a combination of clear cuts and wooded bushwhacking to work towards the summit. Without trying to, I passed the small pond on the north side of the peak. Clearcuts are present at the summit, where I did not find a recognized high point.
Unfortunatly, upon returning, I note that the southwest bump may be the high point. Both the AMC and National Geographic maps show it as the North east however. |
