Nancy Pond - Perfect place to spot a moose - but I didnt.
Back at the trailhead at 4:pm.
Scar Ridge 9/18/14 Pictures:
I Couldnt park at Loon Mt. because of the annual Highland Games so I had to park 3 miles up the road at my favorite trailhead; Lincoln Woods.
Reached Loon parking lot after a 1 + hr road hike.
Interesting network of vines crawling along the ground.
faint herd paths started apperaing near the top.
Canister at the top of Scar Ridge
Large sheets of Birch bark
odd growth of trees, I've seen this same thing on many other hikes.
Large field of these plants along my intended path. harder to walk through then you might think.
Finally back at N. Loon at 1:45 pm after a tough 6 hr bushwhack.
After some debating with myself I decided to take the most direct and steep route down under the ski lift. This is typically hard on the knees but I've found that if I crouch down and do a sort of duck walk it's not too bad.
Two wild turkeys. Who say's I never see wild life. Of couse I can also see these were O live in RI.
snow boarding paraphernalia stored at the bottom of Loon
The Highland games were mobbed by the time I got to the bottom.
Lincoln Police in their kilts.
Crossing the bridge from Loon to the Kank. Luckily I caught a a lift after several minutes and didnt have to hike all the way back to Lincoln Woods.
