Camel's Hump 8.5.2016

For my first 4000 footer in some time, I decided to head back to Camel's Hump in Vermont. At 4,083 ft, it's one of 5 peaks above 4000 feet in the state. I took the Burrows Trail up and the Long Trail and Forest City Trail down so that I could hike it from a different direction than last time. I also made a side trip out to some of the wreckage that still remains from the B-27 J Bomber plane that crashed in 1944 during a training mission. Most of the debris has been cleaned up or scavenged, but most of the two wings still remain on the mountain. Today's hike was 6.48 miles with 2,242 ft of overall elevation gain and 2,758 ft of total elevation gain. The sky was clear but it was a bit hazy and hot. The temperature at the summit was a comfortable 65 degrees with a 10-15 mph wind
