Some sort of maintenance was going on near the start of Upper Polecat. There was an excavator digging something up and moving about. |

| Comments: |
Kinda of a bleh day- rain/mist, wind, muddy trails, and low clouds/white out, but I finally completed the NH 4,000 footers list! Dunno what comes next, but I'm sure it will be awesome! (Also tacked on a little extra mileage and bagged Wildcat E before bagging #48. Wooded and viewless, even on a clear day, so not much time spent here.)
Thanks to my Dad for a great finish! |
