This is one I wished I had documented a bit more. It’s one of two summits I wanted to activate on my way home from the White Mountains. I didn’t do any video, and only took two pictures. At the time I wasn’t thinking of it as much of a special summit, since it was a drive-up summit. But reflecting on it, there were lots of unique aspects making it an interesting activation.
