Hello Chris, Came across your blog this AM. We were hiking also on Waumbek same day in the rain as you and Alton. Lin and I are doing the 48 this year also. We had done Cabot via Unknown Pond/Kilkenny Trails over July 4th w/e. Yup, both peaks are snoozers. Great pics and trail reports. Thanks, Bob Leitch
ReplyDeleteHi Bob,
DeleteGlad you like the report and pics, yes total snoozers of peaks! Alton and I have done both before but not together and we just figured let's get these two done on the same day to get them out of the way, we didn't expect the rain but it was still fun, once we were done! Have a great time hiking this upcoming fall!

Hi James, thanks for the info. I will look into adding my blog to the site when I get a chance sometime next week.
ReplyDeleteHappy Hiking!
I like the pictures so much! You cannot post enough pictures of this beautiful place. How did you manage to find the place? It is amazing. And yes, I do believe any kind of shelter is welcome during a hailstorm. Safety first.
ReplyDeleteHi Terasa, glad you like the pictures, thanks! As far as how I managed to find the place, all the trailheads, descriptions of trails, and maps are from an A.M.C. White Mountains Guide, it's a great book!
