Nearly perfect weather drove me to tackle waumbek. (the forecast winds kept me from trying Madison). Trail is like a sidewalk at least for now...storm Tuesday will change that. Started starr king trail at 9 and reached mt starr king at 10:30....the southeast view of Madison and adams 10 miles away was breathtaking....all summits in the clear...grayjays hovering and maneuvering in the trees closing in on me as if to say "we would like a snack please!!!" no free lunch from me....pressed on to waumbek and just absorbed the sun for a good 15 minutes. began trek back down...back at car at 1:30..only encountered 5 others all day. |
