Trip Report:
Wednesday was Dougeh #47 and it was on Mt Cabot in the winter! A perfect mild, winter day with magic in the air right from the start. Although 2 canceled, Doug A., a self employed finish carpenter from Exeter, Fred S., a retired electrical engineer from Andover, joined Ghost and me for a leisurely 10 am start. We saw the footprints in the snow of a man and I thought a woman in the snow who left the trail and bushwhacked to the summit! He locked us in the cabin and was startled to hear me say, "Hey, unlock the door!" He and his young son, said he lost the trail, climbed up, and accidentally re-found the top section of the trail. Geesh! We met 10 in the cabin, Alan C. who joined us in the descent and 5 college young men coming up to spend the night. The grand total was 16 hikers on a Wednesday on Mount Cabot. A wonderful day to hike and enjoy trail talk with 16 other hikers in the mountains!
