November Hiking

 November is a great time for hikes. Except for hunters*, there are few bugs, and the temperatures are great.

Here some shots from AMC Noble View and map.

Take a hike.

* No hunting on Sunday's in Massachusetts, Yeah!

Madison Spring Hut

 After several Zero days at Pinkham, headed AT south to Madison Spring Hut, a route that I subsequently did in the winter and summer in the following decade.

The Hut was closed for full services, but a caretake collected a fee for sleeping and use of the kitchen.

This shot shows a helicopter hauling out human waster above the timberline.  I believe this was the first warning sign I came across in the Whites.
