Sunset data for Franconia, NH for Oct. 9, 2007, the sun will set at 6:14pm. If you leave at 3:40 you have 2 hours 34 minutes to get up and down the trail. The data is availible at most weather websites, along with the weather, which you want to know before you leave, right? We talk about how knowledge is the most imporant equipment, well it took me thirty seconds to find out that piece of reasonably critical information. These people are just accidents waiting to happen.
