It was the last of my springtime 48. It was the first of my wintertime 48 and of my "general" 48. Yeah, it meant a lot to be outside today.
This was the day to be out on the trail, if ever there was such a day. Blue skies, a light wind, the boids were a-choipin' and a-boipin'. Trail was in great shape. At around the halfway point, we donned traction. I had my Hillsounds, and she had microspikes. I think we both stumbled and bumbled the same amount. But with all that, we still hewed to slightly faster than the AMC WMG times.
Up top, we had stellar views. Tecumseh is much maligned because of its location, and "view less" summit. That's fine by me, because we had a nice day out without mobs of people. And a lovely view that stretched out to Mt Washington, out to Moosilauke, and who knows wherever else?
Pics and a write-up is on my blog. |
