Hearty hikers braved freezing rain (well, at Richmond Park and Ride at least) and carpooled to the junction of the old LT on Notch Road to take the Duck Brook trail up, up, up to the LT and headed north towards Canada. Just before reaching their destination (not Canada – we were headed to Harrington’s view) we turned around on the summit of the peak thats just east of the Bolton Notch (2,480) and decided the View from Harrington could wait for another day. This was fine by everyone – there would have been zero view anyhow. Snowshoes were not needed – even in January – and thats sort of disappointing. Participants were Laura, John, Tess, Jordan, Cathy, Phil & Bambi. Ted trip leader. Several hikers were treated to Bambi’s famous hand knit hats which are soooo toasty. Did John bring a ‘beverage’ to celebrate the end of the hike? Hmmm I forget…
