I scrapped my plans to climb in VT while driving up 89, my dog has a problem with his eye and I felt better staying close to home. I dropped off 89 and headed due East. I ended up near 118 and that allowed me to shoot up to Rumney, then Plymouth to good ole 93. I took out my 52wav list and decided Starr King would work and off we went. Starr King is a pleasant hike, it's never challenging and provides a walk through a nice variable forest. Rock spikes car to car, fed some birds on top and decided to pass on Waumbec. Was able to get into the regular lot, although there are a few dips in the road. Snow depths at the summit were less then 3 inches and nothing but a dusting from the glades down. Nice way to start the year. As always, me and my dog had pizza at the general store which is a fine establishment.
P.S. Someone is building a beautiful home on 115 a short way from the trailhead road, it is quite the house and the view is priceless.
