Met one of the smallest dogs we've seen in the mountains doing Bonds out and back from Zealand. Cute pup was closing in on the 48. |

 | Comments: |
Much nicer day than anticipated. Some cloud cover kept it cooler but no rain. Breezes helped with heat as well. Views were awesome. Lots of hikers, pemi runners, thruhikers out; all agreeing on conditions. Guyot must have been busy Sat. night. Long day doing the Bonds but able to traverse with car spot with Emerel. We both agreed that Zealand to LW traverse is easiest way of day hiking the Bonds. |
