 | Comments: |
The scouts and the leaders of Manchester NH troop 91 hiked out of Pinkham Notch to the summit of Wildcat D to set up the flag on the observation deck. There was also a group at Wildcat A with the flag.
As noted previously the trail is in good condition. There was one or maybe two small trees down that caused no problems. Only a few muddy areas that were easy to get by.
Great views over to the Presidential Range as even Mt Washington's summit cleared by 2:00PM. |
