12/16/09 Around Mountain Loop

We did a long one today (11.1 miles) because yesterday was rainy and we just did a couple of short walks near home. This loop goes around Sargent, Parkman, and Penobscot mountains and is comprised of several sections we had done on other hikes but since we were mostly going in the opposite direction they were new. It was sunny but around 20 and very windy. Kelley kept looking longingly at trails that intersected the carriage roads but I resisted because of the icy conditions. We did go down to the Amphitheatre Trail to get a picture from under the bridge. 4 1/2 hours
