The weather forecast for tomorrow calls for showers, hence the Tuesday date.
The negatives were black flies especially on our way down and some muddy sections to the trail. The positives were everything else! The companionship, the waterfalls, the vegetation, the other hikers ( an earth sciences class from Gofftown High School among others) and the views, especially the views. For a 1 1/2 mile trek it is a big bang for the buck!
We also took a wrong turn and thus a detour and a little more challenging way to the top. But we came down the correct way or I should say the easier way.
Lots of pictures to follow so check back. We even have a snowman hastily made with one of the patches of snow leftover from the storm on Saturday night. So 32 this past Saturday and 93 and humid predicted for next Saturday. Gotta love New England weather
All and all a fabulous hike and day.
Here 5 of us are halfway up the mountain, Cathy is hidding!
Looking towards the south peak and Mt Ascutney in VT
looking east, with the smaller peak, Firescrew, in the foreground, and the White Mountains in the distance
Helen making the snowman and all the snow on May 28th! as promised, last but not least
