Stony Ledge Out-House. I always love taking pictures of various out-houses on the mountains. Don't ask why, it's just part of what you see out there.

Packs Off at Stony Ledge. It's great to the pack and the weight off my back for a few minutes, and walk without the snowshoes. There was a foot of snow on most of Stony Ledge, but part of it had blown away.

Dispersed Camping Along Money Brook. Massachusetts is far more restrictive of camping then New York State. You can only camp in dispersed areas where specifically allowed, and they don't even allow fires with backcountry camping.
