From Gunstock parking lot, ski trails to Rd Pond Trail, then up East Gilford Trail to summit. Over to Gunstock, then over Rowe. Came down the old ski trail from the Rowe towers.
A few black flys in a couple spots, otherwise very nice. Overcast and cool, but still good views in all directions.
Went down and saw the plane wreckage from the crash in '72 a few hundred meters below the summit off the NE side. Not hard to understand why they didn't find it for close to a year. Trail is not marked where it branches off and isn't real obvious at the junction.

Trails at Gunstock. Things continue to dry out.
If I'd had an earlier start, was considering going up along the Mt Rowe ridge.
Maybe this weekend.
Did a few good pickups. Was pleasantly surprised to see I coud get my HR up to 171. Need to do a few serious intervals, to not lose the top end.
Think I'm going to pass on the Billygoat - just too much to do here, having lost a few of the past several weekends and way too many evenings to work stuff.
