Even past peak foliage, October in the White Mtns is spectacular. View of Mt Washington from Mt Martha. 3.8 miles; 1.9k elevation gain. Summit candy: pecan snickers.

Blue sky, mountain ridge, framed by pine trees. Fall leaves have fallen.

Well this was fun. Yes, that’s a Weber grill on stage. And the largest saxophone I’ve ever seen.

Violent Femmes performing onstage with their name projected behind them. There’s a huge saxophone and a black dome grill on stage with the band and their other instruments.

Maybe the early drop will keep crowds smaller when I’m up there again next weekend. Silver lining?
