 | Comments: |
More signs of bear/moose than humans outside the logging. Extremely difficult navigation- would not have been possible to complete this in any sort of decent time without closely following GPS.following a paper map w/compass would take significant time. Great trail, needs a leaf blower, chain saw, and some blazes remarked. |
