Here's my favorite shot from the summit of Mt. Watatic (1,832 foot) in Ashburnham Mass today.

Carmel diggin the breeze~~~~~~~~or maybe she just remembered a good cat walks into a bar joke
.

 

Here's the hike to the summit with views of
Some tall pines
the trail
the dog
the bald summit of Mt. Monadnock in NH poking up through the cedars
.

 

Mt. Wachusett in Mass from a different angle than the one from the Crow Hills post,
Some other promising looking hills in NH
The girl that said "I have a Monte C@rlo AND a V@gin@". I like her

Belknap Mountain (2,382 ft) near Laconia NH & Lake Winnipesaukee

Elevation gain from parking lot: About 800 feet

Here's a tease for now. <---EDIT - Better yet, I'll post more pix if requested

 

Holy Hell, I bet you had excellent cell phone coverage!!!

 

Hey Demitri, tell me that you saw this so I'll know you checked it out

 

Want to go for a hike?



She just smashed right through it!



Boston's about 60-70 miles behind the dog



We were up on Mt. Watatic (1,821 feet) seen from Nutting Hill (1,611 feet) on the way back to the HHR (~1100 feet).

 

Hiked a few more miles of the Midstate Trail from Redemption Rock in Princeton Ma to Mount Wachusett (2006 ft. elevation) in Westminster Ma yesterday.
It was about 80° F, the bugs were ravenous and there's a chain link fence around the fire tower.
I think it's time to head North, higher elevations, cooler temps and, yeah baby, waterfalls



About 10 years ago I scurried straight up where the gondolas are carrying bags of fireworks on July 4 with some friends.

 

Nobody else here hikes in New England?

 

I re-sprained my ankle last July so that was the last hike last year.

All better now so short & sweet for starters

Stopped at Trap Falls in Ashby, Mass on the way to Royalston today.



It was sunshowering in Royalston so here's a rainbow and a buzzard



SS running boards



Waited at dusk at a spot that I saw moose before but all I caught there tonight was the full moon.
