    Given it's proximity to upper and lower WJ and being part of the Lower Range I wonder if Armstrong would have similar percentages of rock silica on it's upper or lower sections?

    Lower + Upper Wolfjaws

    Do you want that in upper case or lower case? Since those pks are mostly wooded and we were socked in, we couldn't get a feel of where the upper reaches of those pks became an upper peak experience versus the lower peak experience when you know you have a way's to go before hitting...

    Are 3k's becoming trendy?

    I have read in bird guides they are often called forest hen due to their tameness.I imagine he just wanted to say Hi.Your pics blow mine away!! :D

    Speaking of trendy 3k peaks.

    Wow,nice wack! Big Range, S Pond + 11th are on a 770 list I have.Considering the remoteness of many NY 3k's is it common that many have no jars,or perhaps destroyed by weather? BTW I have been fortunate to see the Oncoman signed in to some Maine 3krs. :)

On the way back at the gate a Bear hunter had a...

    Anyone been to Glastenbury Mtn. lately (VT AT/LT)?

    At the end of April the Strat/Arl rd was passable only to the Stratton pd trailhead on the Stratton side.Needed snowshoes in 2 areas only ,I'm sure its dry now.The woods near the jar on N Glastonbury had 15" or so but that's gotta be gone by now.The roads probably in good shape now.
