Starting off with some sprinkles was not to bad. Saw a bit of blue sky and sun on Mt. Blue but wasn't long lived. When we got to the summit it clouded in again. We met one AT hiker on the summit for a small chat. And met 2 more on the beaver brook. nice chatting with Mot and Pumkin Pie. Not sure how they got their names.
So on the decent Heather & I were feeling good so we headed back down and took the Al Merrill loop back to the car. With trail was in great shape. Not many rocks, erosion, or mud. The ran got heavier on the decent and the rain gear stayed in the pack as we were to hot to ware it. We got back to the car wet as two drowned ratz. A change to dry clothes and off to a much deserved bit to eat with my sweetie. Thank you Heather for the great hike in the rain on some new red lines. As always, it's great hiking with you, and can't wait for our next hike. |
