I decided to hike Pillsbury Mountain It’s a fairly decent afternoon but cool even by late August standards in the mountains. Partly sunny and 57 degrees on Pillsbury Mountain. There is a northwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 43 degrees.

It’s actually a bit cool on the firetower but warm enough sitting out in the sun ☀ . The firetower continues to be in rough shape as is Old Military Road 🚙 but it is passable and the tower open. 🗼 Pretty good views of the West Canada Wilderness and Perkins Clearing and the Jessup River area from here.

At sunset, look for mostly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 56 degrees. There will be a north-northwest breeze at 5 mph.

I may try next to hike back to Pillsbury Lake 🐡 but it depends on the time. That’s 3.5 miles each way with a 300 climb up there so not a long or difficult trip but time is tight ⌚ with the earlier sunset around 7:30. 🌇 Well I’m going to climb the tower one more time with my other camera and then head back down the mountain. 📷
