 | Comments: |
With an impeccable view of Washington and so many other peaks from both Jennings and Sandwich, today was a near perfect day to hike. No wind, low 60’s in the sun and 50’s in the shade. Both peaks deserve their place on the 52 WAV list. I enjoyed every minute of the 8+ mile “loop” as well as the brief conversations with the 5 people (and 2 dogs), that I encountered. |
