gorgeous day on Monhegan..took the route less travelled using herd paths and the northern end of Cliff trail which is sparsely used.Some nice swells today and you can get pretty close to the water there as there are no headwalls..good pics!!! Several braided trails around Burnt Head and Lobster Cove but overall easy to follow and all paths get you there. Fantastic day with a stop at the brew pub. Only one thing missing.. Great day out!!! |
