A small group of us hiked to the top of Picketpost Mountain on Sunday.

I had last hiked to the summit nearly three years ago - the way up is much more defined now. Route finding was easier than when I did it last.

There were a lot of people out. The summit was crowded when we got there. We found a scenic place to enjoy the views a short ways away and eventually the summit cleared and we were able to got a photo of the famous mailbox.

On the way down, we encountered a group who were on their way down when one of their party fell hitting his head multiple times. We hung around for a bit, but when we realized we weren't making a difference by staying there, we proceeded on down. When we got to the bottom, we learned from the site host that a call had been made for a rescue. I hope he's okay.
