Trail Guide On Sunday, May 10th, seven dayhikers met at the Rattlesnake trailhead across from the Morgan trailhead on Route 113 as the Morgan trailhead was closed. There was a brisk wind which whisked away the annoying spring bugs typically encountered. We ventured up Mount Morgan Trail. The group split up at the cliffs just beneath the summit of Mount Morgan with several eagerly scaling the ladders and waving to those below. Some of us had to remain below to get pictures (or so our version goes). We didn't linger long on Morgan due to the wind and chilly air but caught some nice views. We took our lunch break on Mount Percival where it was more protected. There, we attended with first-aid to the dreadful blisters one member suffered which are often imposed when breaking in new boots. Okay, so it was one tiny blister barely visible, but those are the ones that can turn into big ones that last and last. We descended Percival and bypassed exploration of the cave. Then Diana, the only mom present, received a surprise call from her daughter in Switzerland wishing her a happy Mother's Day. We were all impressed with the cell service as well as her thoughtful daughter! We completed the hike in about four hours and headed into Holderness to a local pub. |
