Week Tour: Day 2, Sect 26.

[Lynn Fisher]

Route 15 - > Eden Mountain Road 11.5 miles.

We woke up to dismal rain, put on full raingear and resolved to go skiing anyway. Surprisingly, the clouds lifted by the time we started skiing and we had a full day of decent weather, although warm.

Photos are:
1. A not very encouraging icy & wet launch from our lodging in Lowell.
2. Dean's pack cover insured dry gear.
3. Relaxing in the sun. Most were complaining that they hadn't packed sunglasses.
4. Scilla & Jerry admire a snowed-in fire truck before skiing down the ice and slush on Jones Lane in Wolcott.
5. The noted "telemark hill" at about mile 3, just off West Hill Road. Kinda slow in the slop.

Two more pictures are in the next post...

Route 15 - > Eden Mountain Road 11.5 miles, continued:

6. View from the top of the telemark hill. I think this is looking east toward Harwick. Maybe Stannard Mountain? Feel free to post info if you're more familiar with this section.
7. The North-to-south group arrives at route 15. Thank you Scott & Kim for the expertise and for the cider!

Here's a few photos from Day 1 of the Week-long Tour. Section 25 is about 14 miles. It starts in Morristown a little south of Morrisville, heads over the ridge near the saddle south of Mt Elmore, traverses the east side of Mt. Elmore and drops down to the Elmore General Store, and then heads northeast and north down to the Lamoille River in Wolcott.
