I’ve been up Spruce mountain once before in the autumn, and jump at the chance to do it again. It’s a good climb to an old fire lookout with a commanding view of the Green mountains and surrounding countryside. Jason’s sister Jen and her boyfriend Phil get the credit for proposing the hike first thing in the morning before the rain returns.
