Matt's Hike Summary: Wandering on Washington

We had a variety of people and almost as many routes on Mt. Washington last night. Spring is making another attempt at happening; there were even a few small mosquitos buzzing around! A number of us took the bushwack route up the ridge, which was much better last year on snow. Summit was nice, weather station still stands, views were a tad murkey, but overall a nice evening. Coming back down the road we found the rest of the group sitting around enjoying a multi-course meal brought up by Al! They had pasta salad, peach-berry pie, and a few other dishes, not to mention a pocketrocket stove & hot drinks! Wow! Don and Jason had explored the 'other summit' by taking the logging road to the right (instead of the left for the main summit), until that ended in dense brush, and then a scramble to the local maxima. A good time was had by all, especially any small animals which found the pie scraps after we left.
