 | Lost and Found: |
I lost a Leatherman Wave along upper Rocky Branch near Isolation Trail, or perhaps Isolation Trail or lower Davis Path after Isolation junction. On the right hand side as you're going up, sticking in the ground. It has a small LED light clipped to it. Please email me above if you find it. |

 | Comments: |
I was overwhelmed by how perfect the day was, the view of Mt. Washington. Isolation is a very under-sung peak. It's just a beauty. I'd done Hntington Ravine the week before, and the views were especially satisfying. Just a day-hike today ... a cuple places at the crossings, especially along Isolation Trail, it's a little tricky finding the path on the other side. And I wound up in the dark for the last 3 miles down Rocky Branch ... something very big in the woods parallel to me ... it shuffled loudly through the brush ... |
