Blackflies were out, especially around the brook crossings and wet spots, but we went through them and they didn't follow us out the other side. Not yet annoying. Just a couple weird "summit bugs" up above, but a nice breeze kept most at bay. |

Hiked with MichaelJ on our almost-annual "blackfly hike" but it didn't live up to its name today! Weather was warm and steamy, but the woods were beautiful. Lots of folks (many kids) on the trail today. Lounged in the sun on the summit for almost half-an-hour. Views were very hazy from the humidity. A good day out! |
