Comments
Comments: Footing generally good. Watch for wet, slippery rocks and roots over the final upper mile of the 3.2-mile Benton Trail. The summit today was in and out of the fog but windless. A very fine day on the trail, and Tuckerman and Polly enjoyed meeting and greeting Bella and McKinley, two beautiful dogs we met with their masters at the summit. Bella, a Newfie, is the size of a small black bear!
