Comments
Comments: Lincoln Woods trail, hard packed to Black Pond Jct. Black Pond Trail broken to Pond.


We opted for the 'higher' bushwhack with a steep drop onto LBT. All crossings solid.


We missed the entry point for Brutus Bushwhack (unbroken & drifted). Our entry point approx 150' beyond. We found/lost bushwhack, at times on steep & deep terrain. Broke OHP from the 'rock'. Thoroughly enjoyed the butt slides while descending, ending our day under bright moonlight :) Thanks to Kathy B., Tim, Frank, Jerry, Sarah, Atticus, Gerry and Victoria -
