Just 10 minutes into the trail and my hound dog accidentally bumped his sniffing nose into a GROUND NEST OF BEES (or wasps or hornets or whatever they are!)... we each got multiple stings and it was NOT FUN. He was on a short leash, so the nest was really not far off trail at all. On the left side ascending.. before the cliffs/bypass split. Be warned! We took a sec to calm down, take some benadryl, and then continued onto the summit anyways. We took the bypass instead of the cliffs because I couldn't be bothered after all those stings. So i'm not sure how the cliffs are for dogs. Everything was wet from the rain anyway. I'll have to come back to do the cliffs. After the bypass & cliffs rejoin, there is one rock that he couldn't get up (60 lb dog & doesn't like to be lifted).. but there was a path around. Other than that... smooth sailing.. apart from me also falling face first on a slippery rock. No injuries. We still had surprisingly high spirits. Then saw a bear and 3 cubs cross the road shortly after leaving the trailhead... funny, funny day. 0.2 away from finishing the Waterville/Squam Lake region! |
