Comments
Comments: We hadn't been on these trails since before the hurricane damage.We were surprised by the changes Mother Nature made. All the trails were wet today, as clouds hung low through most of the morning .Wet roots and rocks made for slippery going.Contemplated a whack down to Vose Spur from Carrigain to check on our cannister, but chose to go on down the signal in view of the wet conditions.Another group did the same loop clockwise.
Some hazy views from the top.
