Since most of the M.O.T.D. was in town for Jeff Cooley and Amy's
wedding, we spent three days backpacking in the Pemigewasset
wilderness.
Our trip took us over the Gale River Trail to the AMC Galehead
hut. The next day, we took the Twinway to the Bondcliff trail,
and camped at the Guyot Campsite. The third day, we headed
back to the Twinway, over the Zealand summit toward the Zealand
falls hut, and our car at the Zealand trail trailhead. Members
had the option of climbing Galehead, North Twin, and the Bonds.
