 | Comments: |
Did an out and back from Little Lary Brook Road. Trail is very muddy in several spots on both sides of the height of land, but offered fairly good walking overall. Many blowdowns, and not much evidence that the trail gets used, though it was still easy enough to follow. Stood in the last crossing on my way back up and over from Rt. 2, my feet appreciated it, so nice and cold! |
