had a work meeting which i took this AM despite vacation.. was good to check in on things in Germany..
The DIane and I packed and took off for hike. We stopped by Jimmy’s to see if he wanted to go.. but he wasn’t in
Our goal was to go to Molly Stark’s Balcony in the Appilachin Gap… . we got pretty far down the hintingon road and saw a sign that the road was closed… You have yto appreciate rural vermont roads to understand how wierd it is to close a road like that.. there is no ‘going around’.. anny thing to get around the block would mean an extra hour of driving or so…
We were not to be detered.. we decided we’d take a differnt trail up the side of Camels hump. We chose forest city trail.. which is really nice.. not that steep.. and near a stream..
We hiled up to the top to Montclair Glen lodge… we camped there in 1983 in April with 3 feet of snow.
on the way down, I couldn’t resist jumping in the creek.. it was cold !. I’ll spare you the pictures !
on the way down (and up) we found this cool old steam boiler … perfect place for a samstone !
ok.. getting sleepy so I’ll quit there (and its’ onluy 3:30 PM !)
nite all. nite sam
