Slow Rolling Stones Gather Moss and UVRC Friends
By: Bill Young
Frozen Otter (Bruce Atwood), Krummholz (Tom Kidder) and Ob-Wan (Bill) climbed Mount Moosilauke on a glorious November 7 day. We went over the river, Tunnel Brook and through the woods via the north side Benton Trail. About 10 miles round trip and 3,000 feet up. “Rolling stones gather no moss” but at our up hill pace we did. Are you lichen the moustache?
UVRC runners Mike Musty, Nicole Labrecque plus their COVID bubble friends Cassie and Sam greeted us in the sun and snow at the top. Mike’s rugged team was on a circuit route up the Gorge Brook Trail and back to the Ravine Lodge road by the Ridge Trail. Maybe 40 people were socially distanced on the north summit. We figured the 30 mph were blowing all the RNA virons off to the Atlantic.
