Comments
Comments: Cool, breezy day, perfect for hiking. First time on the "new" trail and many thanks to all those who put in such hard work to make it a pleasure. Apart from a few mudy areas it is in great condition. Great views over the twins at the open area. Met up with a family of 7 out for 3 days and a large group from Lyndon college VT. out for an extended trip as well. Good day to be out with Cymbidium and 4 other OTHH folk.
