Jessup River Wild Forest
August 31, 2019 Afternoon
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. π. The dew point is 43 degrees.
It’s actually a bit cool on the firetower but warm enough sitting out in the sun β . The firetower continues to be in rough shape as is Old Military Road π but it is passable and the tower open. πΌ 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 π 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 π‘ 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 β with the earlier sunset around 7:30. π Well I’m going to climb the tower one more time with my other camera and then head back down the mountain. π·
