North & Middle Tripyramid: 40 & 41 for round 2 of the NH48

The Tripyramids are a couple hills that don't offer a high bang for your buck value. There is a great deal of work getting to the top, and neither summit is particularly delightful. 

This being said, we have hiked these monsters several times. so something keeps us coming back, but who knows what it is. 

The majority of this hike, on June 12, may have been one of our better trips up these two dumb mountains. Not the whole hike, but some of it was decent. 

I'll admit, it was a nice day and pleasant to be out and about. 

We went up Pine Bend Brook trail, as we avoid the infamous slides. Pine bend brook starts innocently enough and then is just steep and rocky and annoying. And THEN you are the top of North Tri and it's not a big event. 

THEN you walk over to middle tri, and THAT is not a big event either! (the walk between peaks is pretty nice though. A decent time.)

THEN you walk down Sabbaday Brook trail which is stupid for two reasons. ONE is that there is a stupid steep slidey dumb section of trail. And TWO you seriously cross the brook a zillion times. Back and forth, back and forth. And if the water is a little high it is a pain in the ass (probably impossible if the water is very high!) And if you are like me, you lose your balance and fall IN the brook ass over teakettle and are dripping sopping soaked. 

At the very end Sabbaday Brook trail is amazing and lovely and one might forgive it, if one did not have a gallon of water still in each shoe.

Anyway. Got it done. Check for this round, for June and maybe for Spring (can't remember)
