Welch Dickey Loop Trail

This past weekend found us hiking the Welch Dickey trail in the White Mountains. Great trail up the two peaks, 2605' and 2734' respectively, with great views of the Waterville Valley and Sandwich Notch to the east, Plymouth and the Mad and Pemigewasset Rivers to the south, and Mt Tecumseh to the north. The trail was mostly ledge with many prominent ridges for photo opts. The Fall Foilage was just past peak, and gave us some spactular views. Oozing spent most of his time learning Thai-speak, and threw out a few phrases we might use at IH, like "I'll have a beer with those little wiggly worms and some grubs, please". The rest of us had a great time enjoying nature and the outdoors, except one. Bondo was his usual annoying self, complaining that we needed to get back to catch the Patriots second half against the Dolphins. We did make it back in time, unfortunately Just Big Shit stumbled at the top, while feeding a brownie in her face, missed a good foot hold and dropped face down on the brownie and granite. She broke a bone in her hand, but did manage to down the brownie before we headed back down. More importantly, we arrived back at Waterville Valley before the half and the Pats squeeked out a win.
