Camels Hump Sunday May 25th.
Myself, Babs,Brian B, Gillian, Skimom, JP and Jackson (dog).
Babs and I got there before the rest so we stared up Monroe trail. This is just a nice mellow trail with lots of people and black flys. We arrived at the summit after the saying bye to the snow for the season (one small patch right below treeline) There were like 2000 people on summit, well maybee 40 but seemed like thousands. There were 2 GMC employees there that were definately holding it down, trying to keep people off the grass( I guess all the signs dont really work) We just rested and enjoyed the amazing views waiting for the others. about 30 minutes later they showed up and we enjoyed some fantastic kisses from brian b (hershey kisses). First time i had any views from this summit.
We decied to take Long Trail down to Alpine Trail to view the plane crash. Honestly, it was kind of dissapointing ! not really sure what i expected but it was not all that. before we knew it we were back on the Monroe trail and soon the black flys were out to eat us. The bug spray did not seem to work. We all decided to get a drink at the Alchemist in Waterbury after our hike. The Whonky was delicious!!! Babs and i had a couple beers and heading back to burlington. We went home and changed and drove to Elmore SP for some trivial pursuit by the fire. It was the boys against the girls and you all know how that went...... we won all 3 games (thanks to JP, he is like really really smart). Babs and myself said goodbye and headed back to Burlington. Great weekend! just wish Mondays weather would have been as good as Saturday and Sundays as i had planned to do some kayaking in Champlain.
Cant wait to get out in the woods again!
