With the rolling hills of the Green Mountains in the distance, as seen from Forest Road 70.

Despite the black flies, my tired butt after doing the Stratton Mountain - Stratton Pond Loop, it was a nice weekend at Branch Pond Road.

For a while on Saturday, it looked like we were going to get rain, so I strung up the tarp.

While no night up camping was perfect, Sunday evening was one of the nicest nights while the sun set, and the black flies retired for the night.
