Well, I'm sure you think, of course they do! Well I never thought I'd be able to get a somewhat clear shot of one...
This Fisher was eating some berries in trees below me when I was on the Lambert Ridge trail in Lyme. I watched him for over 30 minutes eat away. Every once in awhile I got his attention so I could attempt to get a picture. I was surprised he had no problem with me because I thought they were elusive. No matter, I enjoyed watching him. After awhile, he decided to get even closer, and even started to climb up along part of the ledge. That was enough for me, I decided to head out.
Anways, back to the hike: I did a fun solo over Smarts Mtn from Quintown Rd, then down Lambert Ridge, and a section of AT that led me to the Dartmouth Skiway. It was one hell of a day...my only complaint...poison ivy at the very end of the trip along the field at the skiway. Pics n stuff next!
I was amazed by the peak foliage on the short walk up Quintown, and right as I was taking this picture, a bear ran off and shook the ground with all its might (well it felt like he shook the ground, either way it was LOUD)
Off I go up the J Trail, hoping it was more than just a letter.
South Jacobs Brook glistening in the mid morning sunshine.
This trail was a gem. Maybe it doesn't have the same charm in summer or spring, but when the trees are at peak foliage it is awesome. The lower sections reminded me of the Carr Mtn trail from the Three Ponds Side. There were lots of wet and mud spots, but that is to be expected with all the rain we've had since August.
This was prob the easiest 4 mile trail I've hiked that has ascended a mountain. Book time was over 3 hours, and I completed it in 2 hours on the dot. I felt quite strong at the time.
Next pic, when the forest transitions to spruce and fir, it was a beautiful section.
Now at the top, I took at least a 90 minute break because I was so far ahead of schedule. The views from the firetower were the best I've seen, visibility was at least 80 miles.
You figure em out....
Kodak Ledges up to Mt Cube
That would be peak foliage
Down to Orford
Wow, what a view of Moosiluake and Clough, and I think you can see the old Sanitorium...whatever its called now.
back in a few.
