All to Myself

 This morning I was alone on the trail up Higgins Mountain. This has become my favorite hike, and today the colors were resplendent. Any way to escape, even for an hour, the horror that is our national scene is a blessing. We were planning to go to the Azores for election week, but of course COVID-19 got out of hand and we who are stained by Trump are not welcome in Europe. So we'll have to find some way to avoid election night, anyway.

Bald Head

The bald head you see summited Arrowsic's highest peak today, accompanied by a lovely Sherpa  It was a beautiful fall day, though windy, and the trail was pleasant, with marsh and river views  At the top we looked down upon the sparkling Back andKennebec Rivers  Great day for bald heads  

 

Cox Pinnacle

 

Breathing hard, I summited Cox Pinnacle, the highest point in Brunswick, this morning. It was a a tough climb along a wide path, surrounded by beautiful fall scenery. Now, having conquered two of the lesser peaks, I am prepared to conquer the Everest of the coastal plain, BALD HEAD, right here in mountainous Arrowsic!
