Picnic before the wilderness |
a stream crossing |
or two |
or three |
camp is set, so relax |
visit a beaver dam |
they are curious |
but have work to do |
while we watch quietly |
price of admission: clean shoes |
arising at 5 |
morning red |
crossings to undo |
another |
along Johns Brook a bit of wet |
breakfast at a pretty spot |
lovely stream |
we roar up the trail to the col |
|
and then the trail |
kind of |
draws you upward |
views from a boulder |
on toward the summit of Upper WolfJaw |
a bit more climbing |
and on the summit |
down, down, down |
up, up, up, up |
and a rest on Armstrong |
we pose |
nearing the summit of Gothics |
Labrador tea in bloom |
the sunny summit |
wide views |
a fine spot for lunch |
and a rest |
a bird sings |
a shoelace tightened |
view from old corner |
after all the climbing: downhill |
really |
very |
we don't need the cable |
keep the knee straight |
still descending |
descending from the col |
last views |
what cool way to cross a stream |
tiger swallowtail |
real crossing |
another morning, a bit wet |
loon on Chapel pond |
a lovely spot |
halfway to the nubble |
nice views under the clouds |
but rain is coming |
down we go |
Hi! to you too |
ending in a picnic |
hanging wet gear |
