Trip Report:
- Decided to do a quick hike before getting to work and heading back to Rhode Island.  It was a balmy -14 at the Highland Center in Crawford Notch, however there was no wind and crystal clear visibility.
- Within ten minutes I was already warmed up and as usual my upper body was sweating but I felt much stronger than I did yesterday.  The Webster-Jackson trail is all in the woods with a fun steep ledge the last one hundred feet up to the summit which was covered in styrofoam snow making it easy to get up in just microspikes.
- I stayed on the summit for about ten minutes staring at the Presidential Range and taking pictures before blitzing down the mountain were I finally ran into about nine hikers, a super friendly black lab, and a quiet husky type dog all along the last mile of the trail.
