Itinerary description

Started at the Firewardens Trailhead (vs. the AT crossing) and returned via Horns Pond trail (vs. the AT). I thought this would be much shorter than taking the AT to Straton Pond Road (see jmmdds hike) but was about the same ~13 miles. Dont pass on N. Horn even though she's not on a list. No warrenties, expressed or implied, are made that any information in this post is accurate, reliable, or appropriate for any particular situation.

    I have followed this trail  View more

    Not just the Bigelows,
    I even did the Snows,
    A Labor Day Weekend Playing.

    Hikin' is my dance
    Summits I romance
    Every mile my knees are aching.

    There will come a day,
    knees will pass away,
    then what will they say about me.

    When the end came I know,
    I had dinner with Jazzbo.
    life goes on with out me!

    Apologies to Diamond David Lee Roth!!
