As part of a 16 or 17 state highpoint blitz of the Northeast this August while working remotely 8 hrs a day from various Starbucks.

Wrapped up the work day at 5pm and so thought I could do the drive 1.5 hr to Mt Frissell and get it done. Came in from the south up a gravel road. Met 2 guys walking back to trailhead up road (I probably was rude by not offering them a ride but I was on the clock!) and they said 45min at least to summit and they were moving quick. I parked with 6 other cars and headed down the trail with a few mosquitos. It was 30 min to the summit and 30 back....good to see all my training at altitude in the Rockies over the years is paying off. I just flew up the "steep" parts and enjoyed the treed terrain with solid rock outcrops. Views were really nice. Saw no one. Made it back as sun was setting. Drove onwards to Rhode Island and Jerimoth Hill.
