The White Mountains this month... The Himalayas next!
A few of us hiked Mount Monadnock on Sunday to test our boots, lungs, and legs. It's a challenging hike, especially in 90degree weather! But we had a great time, and made it to the top & back with smiles on our faces.
At the very top there was a depression in the rock with many many tadpoles. About 1/4 of a mile off the top, we found a pond with a healthy population of adult frogs; is there a connection? Maybe so! I also really enjoyed seeing the plants growing from mini-crevasses in the rock, and the ravens, vultures, and... is that a juvenile bald eagle??!!
The peaks in the distance are a lot shorter than they will be next month!
