Follow the money

I took the afternoon off and did a hike in the Berkshires with Howie. We did a loop over Mount Prospect (near Greylock). Started out on the Money Brook Trail. Then turned onto trail up to the mountain. It climbed the very steep and narrow southern ridge of the mountain. Reached a viewpoint, and then true summit shortly after. There was a rock cairn to mark the top, but no views on the wooded summit. Continue on down the other side to another viewpoint looking west. At the junction, took the trail to Wilbur's Clearing camping area. Then took the Money Brook Trail to the falls (which did not have much flow) and finally back to the car. Had a nice sunny and breezy day for our trek. Bugs were out and biting a bit, but the winds kept them at bay.
