    haystack reconsidered

    well, the rain put a damper on the grand plan to make a run at haystack last weekend. instead stayed close to home and did a quick hike up camel's hump from the sth duxbury side in the pouring rain. actually pretty cool. falls pouring off the mt and inspite of the fact that there was little or no view, there's gotta be somethin' ta be said about getting out nonetheless and seein' what needs ta be seen.

    this fri, though, looking to go at haystack from the garden. hope the sun thur drys things up a bit and that i manage to catch a wee bit of late season magic.

    any suggestions, comments, input, heads ups, etc. would be appreciated.
    How easily we might walk onward into the opening landscape, absorbed by new pictures, and by thoughts fast succeeding each other, until by degrees the recollection of home was crowded out of the mind, all memory obliterated by the tyranny of the present, and we were led in triumph by nature.

    Looking at Trip Reports at VFTT, ice has arrived in the mountains. Crampons an add-in for the pack. Haystack could be a little dicey, with a half mile of open rock to negotiate.
