A group of 5 of us, Mardi, Isabelle, Tom, Kim and I decided to head out for a hike this weekend. Initially I was hoping to meet up with team Shake and Bake who
are scheduled to break the winter 48 record on Passaconaway today, but unfortunately, they won't be arriving until later at night. So, we went ahead with our
hiking plan minus the celebration. But nonetheless we're having a great time hanging out on the open ledge near the summit of Whiteface for a nice long
break, enjoying the bluebird sky and windless afternoon and each others company.
