Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Joyce Kilmer & Huckleberry Knob 10.10.2023

 This was quite a hike.  It was a long drive to the destination but once there the hikes were thoroughly enjoyable.  the first hike was Joyce Kilmer of  " I think I shall never see poem as lovely as a tree" fame.  He was a war veteran and ended up writing one of the most remember poems.  This hike took the 17 of us along a very nice 2.7 mile trail.  Next we did the Huckleberry Knob trail.  This 1.7 mile trail went from 5300' to 5600' and had everyone puffing.  Conditions were much better than last time we hiked this trail when we almost froze to death.  The views were incredible and everyone looked in every direction.
