Summary
Hedgehog & Potash Mountain (join us for one or both)
Join us for a hike up Hedgehog Mountain. Afterward, if you care to join us, we’ll hike Potash Mountain. Both mountains are on the 52 with a View list.
We’ll hike Hedgehog first then drive 0.6 miles west on the Kancamagus Highway (to park in a small area along the road). Access to Potash Mountain is via a logging road (this maneuver will allow us to bypass the Downs Brook crossing - which might be running high).

ignore the last statement. We will start at 10AM since we have to drop off the dogs at daycare first.
Jim caught an error on my post. Start time is 9AM, but the description stated 10AM. This is what happens when not careful with reposting a hike. Anyway, start time is 9AM.
