Mt. Willard

What a view of Crawford Notch!

Fantastic hike, very little effort for such a view... a bit of mud, but we've had A LOT of rain in the past few weeks, so the trail condition is what you should expect, given the late weather.  A definite hike to enjoy and repeat.  I bet it would be magnificent in the fall!  hmm... there's an idea!

Trail Maintenance

10 of us gathered to do cleanup on the Bear Camp River Trail.  We had one bloody lip, a thousand mosquitos, and accomplished cleaning up the trail from Mead Base Camp to Route 113.  The trail is in good shape, with a few blow downs to attend too.  Thank you to all who volunteered!

Big Rock Cave

"B" Group, out for some river crossings, mud and a lot of downed trees.  This hike was a bit of a challenge this early in the season.  It was certainly affected by the amount of rain we've had, followed by a good winter, and some significant storms.  The mileage was a leap forward from our 3.5 we had done after winter.  This hike doing the loop clockwise ended just under 6 miles.  It was rewarding, but we all thought it was a bit more than we expected.

Hiking season has begun...

Enjoying the hiking, even if there's a good bit of mud, lot's of bugs, and oh, those ticks!  The views make it enjoyable, and the camaraderie makes it even better!
