We did some awesome climbing up the mountian to some great vistas.
It was a bright, clear day and thought it would clear our heads so to
speak. The summit or summits, as there were a few, were wonderful.
I never walked along a ridge line for that great a distance -it was
very cool. We didn't pick up any letterboxes along the way; all the
open areas looked the same and maybe our heads weren't working well
at the time. Paddy, our dog, ran ahead to some nice people taking a
Christmas Card photo on the summit. They said that they're relatives
are going to ask, "where did you get the dog!" We exchanged a few
laughs and went our way. The hike was a wonderful challenge.

You have to be sure to follow the blue-blazed trail, not the
un-blazed-but-more-travelled short-cut trail. Then, you can see the
first letterbox's cairn right from the trail. Once you get that, it
makes finding the second one easier, though it's not so obvious.

Thanks Aili, we did follow on the dime.
I thought sure we'd at least spot the one that
was located in the Ciders. It's just one
of those things.
Thanks,
