 | Comments: |
A nice loop over Crotched, although fairly busy with people who were completely oblivious to physical distancing and basic etiquette like not stopping their group in the middle of the trail for a break, thereby blocking access for other hikers. Repeatedly. We also followed well-beaten herd paths to the true summit next to the tower.
Brisk winds kept the bugs mostly at bay while in the open, but they were pretty bad in the woods. Stormy skies all day, and it felt like we were going to get socked up top when the winds cranked up, but it never rained. |
