On Novemer 17, 2013, a Sunday, we met up at Waterville Valley to climb
Mt. Tecumseh. We all had recently acquired Microspikes and wanted to
make use of them. We were able to on the higher elevations of Mt.
Tecumseh. We hit snow by about 2500 feet. The starting elevation is
about 1800. Mt. Tecumseh's summit is the smallest of the 4000 footers at
4003ft, just perfect for a day hike in November.

| Maybe I'll just wait in the car? |
 |
| Heading out. Can I put my Microspikes on yet? |
 |
| I think it's PB&J time! At the summit. |
 |
| Continuing our tradition of incredible views. |

| Which direction was this moose going in? |
 |
| Fresh moose tracks. I think he was stalking us. |
 |
| The Microspikes worked well. |

| Our next hike. We'll have to sneak this guy's gear away from him when he's not looking. Actually, he's not looking right now. Quick, snag his red Alpine shoes. |
