Memorial Day Weekend Crescent - Adams

[bobandgeri]

This would be our first hiking weekend in 9 weeks since Geri hurt her ankle playing soccer. With an iffy forecast we stayed home Saturday and enjoyed a sunny bike ride, before heading north in the afternoon.

Sunday we decieded on a shot hike to a peak on the Y-Alpine list, Mt Crescent. The trails are maintained by the Randolph Mountain Club and we cleared and well marked.

Monday we joined Sherpa John and Sarah as whe climbed #46 on her goal of the NH48. It rained much of the day - the trail was more like a river and times, and teh snow was 2 -3 feet deep starting at 4100 feet, but we all ended the day with a big smile.

Pics and details are posted on our web stie:

Nice Pics

Once again you have captured some wonderful pictures.

Except...

John in a bikini top and boxer briefs. Truly the most frightening thing I have seen in over forty years of hiking.

The last summit pose reminds me of a baseball game at Fenway in which I sat in the right field grandstand where the fans were screaming "sterrrrrrr-----oooiiiiids" at Jose Canseco (when he played for the Oakland A's), to which Jose played along with a muscle-man pose. But, thankfully no 'roids in peak bagging.

Are you implying I'm "Pumped and jacked"?
