Upper WolfJaw to Gothics

Giant Nubble

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
