Great day for a hike. Not much sun, but high clouds allowed views all the way to Washington from SMT viewpoints, and the summit. Monrail is gone, except for 10 or 20 tiny pieces near the summit. I miss winter already! JK; I try to enjoy each day as it comes. But there is nothing like hiking on packed snow on a good trail...
The herd path around the blowdown at 43.935,-71.5113889 is well developed. Will it be the new route of the trail? That would save the axe work for building new bog bridges where needed between Noon Pk. and the spur to Jennings. Just my $0.02 |
