Yesterday's hiking of Hadley Mountain 10/1/2021
Start: 2:15pm Summit/Fire tower: 4:00pm Stay: 1 hour End: 6:02pm
Hadley mountain is super steep, There is a very deceitful section where the grueling hike turns into a nice stroll in the woods. Problem with this is that they don't tell you there's an entire half mile left of hiking after that small stroll.
Hermes did pretty well until about half way up when he realized that he was too tired to go on. This made things difficult for me since I had to pull him up the mountain. 75lbs of resistance for about 2 hours is not very easy gotta tell ya.
We saw some pretty cool things along the way up, really cool rock formations, some cute little shrooms, lots of chipmunks and a few deer(which were obviously hunting because we heard so many gun shots).
Once we reached the summit we were happy to actually see some people so they could take our picture! They were obviously smoking a vape pen and thought I would judge them, me a woman hiking with a goat. We had our snacks && headed up the fire tower. Hermes made it up a few levels and decided he had enough.
On the way down we ran into a snag when Hermes got little scared by a hunter being too close, he heard the gunshot && went to run off. Normally since he is tethered to my hip I let him off the carabineer when he is scared but I didn't quite get him unhooked in time. so he ran past me && I slipped on a loose rock, then I fell && hit my face off of a tree. Other then that we had a very good hike.
Here's some of the photos from our hike!
