|  |  |  | Comments: | I had been to Whaleback before, but decided a loop hike to Flume would be a nice outing.  And the views from Whaleback seem somewhat unique... for example, a fine view of Scar Ridge.  We played the weather well...nice day out with Larry Yetter & Dan Senneville |  |  |  |  | Name: | Damselfly |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | btzimr at gmail dot com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2014-07-09 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
