"Hiked up via Lincoln Woods to Osseo Trail to Franconia Ridge to Flume summit. Then over to Mount Liberty summit. From Liberty hiked down Liberty Springs Trail to the Basin parking lot. This was my number 47 and 48 out of 48 NH 4000 Footers. I was joined by friends Polly, Scott, and John. It was a rare warm early Fall day. The autumn colors are really coming through now." — dmcosker • Sep 26, 2020
"After dropping 100' from the summit of Abigail Adams peak, I continued on to Mt. Adams summit. I was hoping to also do Sam and John Quincy peaks but was running out of time to get down before dark. It was a beautiful bluebird day with about a 5mph breeze. Only half a dozen of us at the top. Made a quick stop at Madison Spring Hut on the way down. My 24th NH 4Ker." — SteveM_StickMan • Sep 21, 2020
