Cornish Forest Climb

This week we had a crowd, 10 people and 4 dogs.  The weather was perfect for a climb. We started
at 9 AM and were back down a little before 11 AM and the weather was mostly in the 60s and very
sunny and some wind which kept the bugs away.

The climb begins steeply and since I fell, I can attest to agreeing that the rocks were quite slippery with moss and wet from the rain the day before.  Luckily it evens out after about 10 minutes and the hike is much easier going and boy are you rewarded at the top!  There are great views into Vermont and especially of Mount Ascutney.  We stayed at the top for about 10 minutes to soak in the view and relax.  The descent was fine until the last 10 minutes when we had to be very careful under foot once again.  This was my first time doing this walk and it is definitely a keeper! if a bit treacherous at the beginning

There were lots of mushrooms growing in all kinds of colors, the usual white and brown, plus reddish and many yellows. I only took pictures at the top. Will load them later today.

Next week, Mt Cardigan again, this time I can guarantee there will be no snow!
