Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Well, watch out for some crazy lady who yelled at us as we were descending. Two of our group had two, small, well behaved dogs and this lady passed us and started screaming that the dogs be leashed, it’s a state law, that we “must be privileged”. I mean yelling. Really unhinged stuff. We later learned from the park attendant she hikes there nearly every day, so I guess she thinks its her mountain or something. Talk about privilege. He also got an earful from her, poor guy.

Comments
Comments: A nice loop up Wapack and down Marion Davis with a group of 10. Mainly wet trails with lots of slick ledge, roots and leaves. Even though weather stayed overcast, views were better than expected. We could clearly see into the Sandwich Range from the fire tower. Foliage starting to pop, but colors were dulled without the sun.
