 | Comments: |
The absolutely redonkulous humidity called for extra shirts today. Fortunately, this hike is fairly short and I was back to the car's robust AC in good time. Can October come early this year?
Always a treat to visit this mountain with its gorgeous forests and neat geology. Views into Vermont were hazy from the muggy air. |
