Comments
Comments: Trails were generally dry, a few small sections of York Pond Trail were significantly muddy. The section of Kilkenney from South Terrace to York Pond Trail was covered in leaves and probably the most faint trail I've seen in the White Mountains. I fell once as a rock under the leaves rolled when I unknowingly stepped on it.

I saw a group heading up to Cabot Cabin and a solo hiker on Middle Weeks.

I added North Weeks to my New England Hundred Highest list, did some trail segments for Red-lining and tried to bushwhack to the bluff to the east of North Weeks. I ran out of time and had to turn around and then ran the 3.5 miles from North Weeks to the York Pond Trail parking in order to get out of the Berlin Fish Hatchery before they closed the gate at 4pm. Even though there were a lot of PUDs and only one view, it was a great day in the mountains.
