Bad day on Vose Spur.

[A_Hike_2_Far]

Went up the usual way-Signal Ridge Trail, Carrigan Notch Trail to boulder in the trail and bushwack up. Climbed over, under and around many blowdowns. Many faint trails down low.

The herdpath is well defined and fairly easy to follow after about halfway up. Rock field is loose and slippery. The thick brush must have hooked my Nalgene bottle and one of my REI hiking poles and pulled them off my pack. Didnt realize they were missing untill arriving at the top. Couldnt find them on the way down.

I got completly soaked from drizzle and plowing through wet brush, but oh what a great day!

Sounds just horrible. Sorry you lost the gear, got soaked, etc. But at least you were out! Cool pics.

If there is a silver lining is that you got this one out of the way! I know this is not one of my 'want to repeat again' list. Congratulations on your perseverance...
