 | Comments: |
Nibce outing with my friend Ellen. Took the quiet side of the Mt. Major, we met only two small groups of the three on straightback mt. trail and on Beaver Pond Trail. Lovely vistas and sometimes a cool breeze. Major was majorly busy but it is a big summit and it was possible to stay away from the crowds. Small flag flying on the summit foundation. Happy 4th. |
