Mt Clay with Jefferson in background with Adams at right and Madison at far right
Start of Day 3 - 50 mph steady winds with gusts up to 70 mph.  Visibility was low from Mt Monroe to Mt Franklin - no other people until the clouds cleared about 2 hrs later.  We almost bailed out off the Crawford Trail but the weather didn't worsen so we stuck it out - and well worth it
Final (and easiest) Summit - Mt Pierce.  Looking back to Mt Eisenhower, Franklin, Monroe (wedged between Franklin and Washington)) and Mt Washington.
