Florence and I went on a hike with Gary Bartlett to a summit with a small open ledge at the west end of the Howard Mountain ridge line. We hiked up from the back of his cabin and bushwacked along old overgrown skidder trails and logging roads, about an hour to the summit. Open views to the south and the pond to the northeast, but the view north over to the Newry mine was blocked by trees. On the way back, he tooks us along the back side of the ridge, over the top and back down, the tracks a little clearer, 2 hours.
