Comments
Comments: A late start put me on the trail just before noon. The rain held off the entire time and only saw a handful of people. Was pleased to have the summit of North Hancock to myself and the entire ridge. Saw two peole that I had seen on Cedar Brook Tr on the South Peak and that was it until just about the end. Saw some orange leaves on a maple. Fall will be here soon.
