 | Comments: |
New to exploring this area I was checking out the Newfields Wildlife Management area and found that the packed out trail ascended mt. Abbot beyond Gray rd. The packed trail ended at a large boulder and I was left breaking trail up what looked to be an old woods road. I lost the trail on the ridge top but did find the high point. I was too short on time to continue on trying to find Abbott Mt. from there so I turned back. |
