three Fishing Brook peaks

Yesterday was freezing in the central Adirondacks. I would say it was 30s at the bottom, high 20s at the summits.
I brought lots of warm gear and climbed 3 of the Fishing Brook 3000'er Peaks. (Fishing Brook West Peak, Fishing Brook Range - South peak, and Fishing Brook Mountain). I made incredibly fast time, in part thanks to open woods that proved to be very navigable. I only encountered 2-3 dense conifer clusters and those were just short stretches. I mostly stayed away from the drainage areas because those tended to be thicker than up on the slopes. A beautiful Fall day, some of the colors were absolutely stunning.
I have seen American Flags zip-tied to a few AHH summits, I wonder who puts those up? On Fishing Brook South Peak there was still the old metal framing from when there was had been a canister up there.
