"Beautiful fall day for a hike. Luckily I got out there early, when I got back to the parking lot it was packed full.... People parking in front of the gate, in the woods and on the side of the road coming up platt clove. Took me a while to get out because people were trying to see where they could squeeze their vehicles... C'mon winter!!" — LGH-Topple • Sep 26, 2020

"A new season and new reason to visit the summit of Doubletop and its neighbors Balsam Lake and Graham. After a casual jaunt up DT from Seager Tom, Mimi, Yong Ae and I relocated our cars to Mill Brook road PA for a jaunt up to the fire tower on BLM. We enjoyed our lunch at the picnic table in the sun replete with home made ginger tea thanks to Yong Ae. Finished our day with a side trip up to the communication ruins on the summit of Graham. The trees, shrubbery and various undergrowth are almost fully obscuring the view back to BLM, definitely need to use the cinder block viewing platforms." — Nimblefoot • Sep 22, 2020

"Loop hike of Balsam out of Rider Hollow. Miyon Lee left a onesie to complete both her single season Summer round(earning her first butterfly patch) and four season grid earning a second patch. Seven of us joined her on the hike and for the patch presentation at summit obelisk. Afterwards lunch at the Phoenicia Diner followed by ice cream at Fruition Chocolate in Shokan. A splendid day." — Nimblefoot • Sep 12, 2020
