Trip Report/Photos

We had a great, wet, muddy & slippery time climbing Table Rock and Baldpate. We were "real troopers" - nothing could stop us. It was lots of fun. Doggie-dog (Florry) loved hiking in the mud - she kept us going at a good pace.

THANKS EVERYBODY WHO JOINED.

What Members Are Saying About This Trip/Event

Thanks Mo for not canceling the hike even though the previous day's downpour made the trails wet and muddy! It was great to meet new people (Don and Roger) in addition to being able to chat with other frequent GOers. - phoenix
Mo was the bestest guy to lead this OH SO TREACHEROUS HIKE (not that bad) up 1,000 wet, stone steps to an eventually AWESOME view at the Summit. Great camaraderie from all participants, and hope to hike with everyone again. - EZGoingMountainMan
