Thank you to Jonny for joining Joe and I on the loop hike to Jennings Peak.  After a lot of rainy weather, it was wonderful to have a beautiful sunny day in the low to mid 80s and not that humid.   There is a stream crossing at the beginning of the Sandwich Mountain Trail which can be a little difficult when the water is high.   Joe and Jonny crossed by rock hopping, whereas I took my boots off and put sandals on and trudged right through the stream.   We enjoyed talking to several people on the way up, and we had lunch at the top of Jennings Peak.   Afterwards, Jonny decided to extend the hike by also doing Sandwich Mountain, whereas Joe and I went down.    Overall a great day, great hike, and great conversation.
