Old Spec Mountain ME

 This is a 4000 footer in Grafton Notch ME. Today was 8.5 miles RT. Up the eyebrow trail to AT and then down AT. Eyebrow trail is steep and gets some elevation gain in quickly. The mountain has interesting rock with quartz and mica sprinkled in. A viewing platform at the top with a ladder climb. The trail is in pretty good shape and the elevation gain is spread out on the AT trail. Lots of interesting moss with multiple colors. 

A visit to Screw Auger falls after which is a nice gorge area with a big waterfall. Good day

Looking up where eyebrow trail goes:

Mt Pleasant

 Pleasant mountain via the Bald Peak Trail. This is a lelt.org (loon echo land trust) trail. Pleasant mountain is also a small ski area which I didn't see until I was coming down a different route (North ridge trail and sues way. 40 minute drive from the house. The hike was 6 miles RT. You start near and look down upon Moose pond. The fire tower at the top has seen better days and it isn't anything you want to go up.
