|  |  |  | 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. |  |  |  |  | Name: | grumpygran |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | cullennh@juno.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2012-05-18 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
