At 4 pm, it is approaching his customary nap time, and such needs must be observed. Atop South Twin Mountain (4900 feet) after a rigorous 1000 foot scramble in .8 miles, Ben catches a few Z's with the presidentials behind him.
The clouds have lifted in the late afternoon and our circuit is revealed. Lafayette the highest point on the Ridge (our old friend Mount Moosilauke lurks in the back left) and Mount Garfield to the right.
Here is a full width view of the Franconia Ridge (thanks Rachel) - it is like you were there, minus the sweat and the wind.
Turning left. this is our path out. We go over Mount Bond -the tree covered knob just to the right of of the sign.
His nap interrupted, Ben descends the trail towards Mount Bond - Pressies in the background. In the next hour Chris will talk loudly to Ben about anything to keep him from falling asleep.
