What a day to hike in the clouds! If you have to get wet, it might as be about 60 degrees while you are.
Trails are in mostly good shape but have gotten muddy in spots, particularly on Wildcat Ridge Trail. Go out with confidence, but be ready to get muddy.
Also great to run into jeffb for the second day in a row, as well as seeing the most recent Trailwrights 72 completer Barry! A great day to see friendly faces.
Fun note: Boston groups of 10 people, you don't need to tell others you're from Boston. We know. |
