With weather forecasts being like groundhog day, we decided to venture out and do a car spot on this one. We started up Ethan Pond Trail where we crossed paths with a North Bounder. The day was cool and damp with on and off rain which kept the bugs away. The trails were in good shape even though they were wet, muddy and slick in some spots. The steep climb up Willey Range Trail is a thigh burner but a good one with rocks and ladders and some trillium. There were no other hikers on this stretch. The trek over to Field was the sloppiest part and the trees will wet down your rain gear. It got a little chilly on the high peaks which kept us moving but things warmed up over by Tom. The sun broke through on the last 2 miles and brought some warmth and drying. A good hike today and now I have 12 Toms, 12 Fields and 12 Willeys - yay for me. |
