We had a great group of guys and a great hike to Jennings Peak on Saturday 9/29. It was a perfect early fall day, sunny and high of around 65. We started out around 10 am and got the most difficult part of the hike done first on the Sandwich Mountain trail to Noon Peak. After Noon Peak it was noticeably easier with some minor ups and downs and some ledge walking. Past the intersection with the Drakes Brook trail we went on the spur to Jennings Peak for the last uphill push to the summit where we enjoyed a leasurely lunch and soaked in the views. Coming back down we did the Drakes Brook trail, a much more gentle way down and following the stream (Drakes Brook) most of the way down. We then convened at the Mad River Coffee house for continued conversation and beverages. Thanks to everyone that came (Joe, Dave, Wayne, Randy, Todd, Rick, and Barrie), and hope to see you in the great outdoors sometime soon.
